Origin and functional role of antisense transcription in endogenous and exogenous retroviruses

Abstract Most proteins expressed by endogenous and exogenous retroviruses are encoded in the sense (positive) strand of the genome and are under the control of regulatory elements within the 5’ long terminal repeat (LTR). A number of retroviral genomes also encode genes in the antisense (negative) s...
