Differential and defective expression of Koala Retrovirus indicate complexity of host and virus evolution

2017-11-09

Abstract excerpt

Koala retrovirus (KoRV) is unique amongst endogenous (inherited) retroviruses in that its incorporation to the host genome is still active, providing an opportunity to study what drives this fundamental process in vertebrate genome evolution. Animals in the southern part of the natural range of koalas were previously thought to be either virus free or to have only exogenous variants of KoRV with low rates of KoRV...
