Recombination marks the evolutionary dynamics of a recently endogenized retrovirus
2021-02-25
Abstract excerpt
All vertebrate genomes have been colonized by retroviruses along their evolutionary trajectory. While endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) can contribute important physiological functions to contemporary hosts, such benefits are attributed to long-term co-evolution of ERV and host because germline infections are rare and expansion is slow, because the host effectively silences them. The genomes of several outbred specie...
