Genome mining shows that retroviruses are pervasively invading vertebrate genomes
Abstract Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) record past retroviral infections, providing molecular archives for interrogating the evolution of retroviruses and retrovirus-host interaction. However, the vast majority of ERVs are not active anymore due to various disruptive mutations, and ongoing retrovir...
