An ancient retroviral RNA element hidden in mammalian genomes and its involvement in co-opted retroviral gene regulation

Abstract Background Retroviruses utilize multiple unique RNA elements to control RNA processing and translation. However, it is unclear what functional RNA elements are present in endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Gene co-option from ERVs sometimes entails the conservation of viral cis-elements requir...
