High Expression of Endogenous Retroviral Envelope Gene in the Equine Fetal Part of the Placenta.
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are proviral phases of exogenous retroviruses that have co-evolved with vertebrate genomes for millions of years. Previous studies have identified the envelope (env) protein genes of retroviral origin preferentially expressed in the placenta which suggests a role in pl...
