Detection of long terminal repeat loci derived from endogenous retrovirus in junglefowl using whole-genome sequencing
Abstract Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are genetic elements present in the genome that retain traces of past viral infections. Characterization of ERVs can provide crucial insights into avian evolution. This study aimed to identify novel long terminal repeat (LTR) loci derived from ERVs (ERV-LTRs)...
