piRNA Defense Against Endogenous Retroviruses [PDF]
VirusesInfection by retroviruses and the mobilization of transposable elements cause DNA damage that can be catastrophic for a cell. If the cell survives, the mutations generated by retrotransposition may confer a selective advantage, although, more commonly ...

How Active Are Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses (PERVs)? [PDF]
Viruses, 2016 Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) represent a risk factor if porcine cells, tissues, or organs were to be transplanted into human recipients to alleviate the shortage of human transplants; a procedure called xenotransplantation.

Avian Endogenous Retroviruses [PDF]
Folia Biologica, 2003 Recent data about the diversity of AER, their structure, expression and possible ways of evolution are summarized and analysed in the present review. Additionally, the role of endogenous retroviruses in ontogenesis and pathology is discussed.

Human-Specific Endogenous Retroviruses [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2007 This review focuses on a small family of human-specific genomic repetitive elements, presented by 134 members that shaped ~330 kb of the human DNA. Although modest in terms of its copy number, this group appeared to modify the human genome activity by ...

Asparaginase-like protein 1 and human endogenous retroviruses link immune and gene dysregulation in dementia [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection MicrobiologyDementia is increasingly recognized as a condition characterized not only by neurodegeneration but also by significant immune alterations, with potential consequences for both humoral immunity and peripheral gene regulation.

The making and breaking of insect endogenous retroviruses [PDF]
The EMBO JournalRetroelements are main constituents of eukaryotic genomes. Recent work by Senti et al (2025) reports that retrotransposons and endogenous retroviruses occupy specific spatiotemporal niches in the fly ovary, where they are kept in check by tissue-specific

The discovery of endogenous retroviruses [PDF]
Retrovirology, 2006 When endogenous retroviruses (ERV) were discovered in the late 1960s, the Mendelian inheritance of retroviral genomes by their hosts was an entirely new concept.
