RetroSnake: a Modular End-to-End Pipeline for Detection of Human Endogenous Retrovirus (HERV) Transposable Elements in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Data
2022-04-10
Abstract excerpt
Human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERVs) integrated into the genome of vertebrates as a result of ancient exogenous infections and currently comprise ∼8% of our genome. The majority of these elements have accumulated mutations rendering them inactive. The most recently acquired members, HERV-K have potential to produce viral particles and have been linked to a wide range of diseases including cancer and neurodegenera...
