An assessment of bioinformatics tools for the detection of human endogenous retroviral insertions in short-read genome sequencing data

There is a growing interest in the study of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) given the substantial body of evidence that implicates them in many human diseases. Although their genomic characterization presents numerous technical challenges, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has shown potential t...
