Adaptive expansion of ERVK solo-LTRs is associated with Passeriformes speciation events
Abstract Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are ancient retroviral remnants integrated in host genomes, and commonly deleted through unequal homologous recombination, leaving solitary long terminal repeats (solo-LTRs). This study, analysing the genomes of 362 bird species and their reptilian and mammali...
