gEVE: a genome-based endogenous viral element database provides comprehensive viral protein-coding sequences in mammalian genomes [PDF]
In mammals, approximately 10% of genome sequences correspond to endogenous viral elements (EVEs), which are derived from ancient viral infections of germ cells. Although most EVEs have been inactivated, some open reading frames (ORFs) of EVEs obtained functions in the hosts.

Genomic analysis of endogenous retrovirus elements in chinese flocks of economic importance [PDF]
Since the status of endogenous retrovirus elements in Chinese chickens is currently unknown, the embryonated eggs were analyzed from 10 different chicken breeds throughout China. In this study, endogenous retrovirus elements were analyzed including: EAV,

Chapparvoviruses occur in at least three vertebrate classes and have a broad biogeographic distribution [PDF]
Chapparvoviruses are a highly divergent group of parvoviruses (family Parvoviridae) that have recently been identified via metagenomic sampling of animal faeces.

Potential Links between Hepadnavirus and Bornavirus Sequences in the Host Genome and Cancer
Various viruses leave their sequences in the host genomes during infection. Such events occur mainly in retrovirus infection but also sometimes in DNA and non-retroviral RNA virus infections.

Entamoeba and Giardia parasites implicated as hosts of CRESS viruses
Metagenomics allows virus genome discovery, but the viral hosts are often not identified. Here, Kinsella et al. use recombination events between virus genomes, statistical association of viruses to hosts in clinical samples, and analysis of endogenous ...

Analysis of the RNA virome of basal hexapods [PDF]
The diversity and evolution of RNA viruses has been well studied in arthropods and especially in insects. However, the diversity of RNA viruses in the basal hexapods has not been analysed yet.

Virus-host coevolution: Endogenous RNA viral elements as pseudogenes
RNA viruses do not need to take the form of DNAs, and RNAs alone complete their replication cycles. On the other hand, since the 1970s, it has been known that DNA fragments derived from RNA viruses can be detected in RNA virus-infected cells. Furthermore, in this decade, it has become clear that the eukaryotic genomes contain genetic sequences derived ...

Expression and Localization of a New Parvovirus-Derived Protein in the Guinea Pig
Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) are genomic sequences derived from viruses. Some EVEs have open reading frames (ORFs) that can express co-opted proteins in their host.
