Remnants of an ancient deltaretrovirus in the genomes of horseshoe aats (Rhinolophidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

The landscape of hervRNAs transcribed from human endogenous retroviruses across human body sites

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2022
Background Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), the remnants of ancient retroviruses, account for 8% of the human genome, but most have lost their transcriptional abilities under physiological conditions.

Amplification of simian retroviral sequences from human recipients of baboon liver transplants [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Investigations into the use of baboons as organ donors for human transplant recipients, a procedure called xenotransplantation, have raised the specter of transmitting baboon viruses to humans and possibly establishing new human infectious diseases ...

Endogenous viral sequences from the Cape golden mole (Chrysochloris asiatica) reveal the presence of foamy viruses in all major placental mammal clades. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Endogenous retroviruses provide important insights into the deep history of this viral lineage. Endogenous foamy viruses are thought to be very rare and only a few cases have been identified to date.

COVID-19 in Children: Expressions of Type I/II/III Interferons, TRIM28, SETDB1, and Endogenous Retroviruses in Mild and Severe Cases

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Children with the new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have milder symptoms and a better prognosis than adult patients. Several investigations assessed type I, II, and III interferon (IFN) signatures in SARS-CoV-2 infected adults, however no data are ...

Endogenous Retroviruses in Domestic Animals [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Genomics, 2014
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are genomic elements that are present in a wide range of vertebrates. Although the study of ERVs has been carried out mainly in humans and model organisms, recently, domestic animals have become important, and some species have begun to be analyzed to gain further insight into ERVs.

Defending the genome from the enemy within:mechanisms of retrotransposon suppression in the mouse germline [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The viability of any species requires that the genome is kept stable as it is transmitted from generation to generation by the germ cells. One of the challenges to transgenerational genome stability is the potential mutagenic activity of transposable ...

Endogenous retroviruses and human evolution [PDF]

open access: yesComparative and Functional Genomics, 2002
AbstractHumans share about 99% of their genomic DNA with chimpanzees and bonobos; thus, the differences between these species are unlikely to be in gene content but could be caused by inherited changes in regulatory systems. Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) comprise ∼ 5% of the human genome.

Marine origin of retroviruses in the early Palaeozoic Era

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Endogenous retroviruses are viruses that have become integrated into the genomes of their hosts. Here, the authors investigate the evolution of foamy-like endogenous retroviruses, and, by taking into account the temporal dynamics of the rate of viral ...

Domestic chickens activate a piRNA defense against avian leukosis virus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) protect the germ line by targeting transposable elements (TEs) through the base-pair complementarity. We do not know how piRNAs co-evolve with TEs in chickens.
