Dynamic evolution of retroviral envelope genes in egg-laying mammalian genomes

2022-12-21

Abstract excerpt

Independently acquired envelope ( env ) genes from endogenous retroviruses have contributed to the placental trophoblast cell-cell fusion in therian mammals. Egg-laying mammals (monotremes) are an important sister clade for understanding mammalian placental evolution, but the env genes in their genomes have yet to be investigated. Here, env -derived open reading frames ( env -ORFs) encoding more than 400 amino...
