Remnants of an Ancient Deltaretrovirus in the Genomes of Horseshoe Bats (Rhinolophidae) [PDF]
Viruses, 2018 Endogenous retrovirus (ERV) sequences provide a rich source of information about the long-term interactions between retroviruses and their hosts. However, most ERVs are derived from a subset of retrovirus groups, while ERVs derived from certain other ...

Endogenous Retrovirus 3 – History, Physiology, and Pathology [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Endogenous viral elements (EVE) seem to be present in all eukaryotic genomes. The composition of EVE varies between different species. The endogenous retrovirus 3 (ERV3) is one of these elements that is present only in humans and other Catarrhini ...

Functional cis-regulatory modules encoded by mouse-specific endogenous retrovirus [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 The gene-battery model posits transposable elements (TEs) may becis-regulatory elements to control gene expression. Here, mouse-specific TEs are shown as binding sites for multiple collaborating transcription factors in embryonic stem cells, and act as ...

Reconstitution of an infectious human endogenous retrovirus.
PLoS Pathogens, 2007 The human genome represents a fossil record of ancient retroviruses that once replicated in the ancestors of contemporary humans. Indeed, approximately 8% of human DNA is composed of sequences that are recognizably retroviral.

The increased expression levels of human endogenous retrovirus-K envelope and human endogenous retrovirus-H polymerase transcripts in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
Virology JournalLaryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a significant subtype of head and neck cancers, with tobacco and alcohol being primary risk factors. Many studies have shown that human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), specifically HERV-K and HERV-H, have been

In-depth analysis of endogenous retrovirus expression in glioblastoma [PDF]
Mobile DNABackground Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are remnants of ancient viral infections and comprise 6–8% of the human genome. Their biological functions in cancer remain poorly understood, especially in glioblastoma, the most common and deadly primary

Endogenization of a Prosimian Retrovirus during Lemur Evolution [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Studies of viruses that coevolved with lemurs provide an opportunity to understand the basal traits of primate viruses and provide an evolutionary context for host-virus interactions.

Evolution and subfamilies of HERVL human endogenous retrovirus. [PDF]
Bioinform AdvAbstract Background Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), which blur the boundary between virus and transposable element, are genetic material derived from retroviruses and have important implications for evolution.
