2019-12-12
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are proviruses that can replicate in human cells. However, the evolutionary process leading to the generation of modern PERVs is not well understood. <h4>Results:</h4> We mined 14 pig genomes and other available 304 mammalian genomes in silico, which led to the documentation of 185 full-length PERVs. Notably, we found two novel ERVs in...
