Expression profiling of repetitive elements by melting temperature analysis: variation in HERV-W gag expression across human individuals and tissues.
BACKGROUND: Human endogenous retroviruses (HERV) constitute approximately 8% of the human genome and have long been considered "junk". The sheer number and repetitive nature of these elements make studies of their expression methodologically challenging. Hence, little is known of transcri...
