Viral fossils in marsupial genomes: secret cellular guardians [PDF]
Microbiology Australia, 2021 Genomic viral integrations, termed endogenous viral elements (EVEs), are fragments of viruses in host chromosomes that provide information about viral evolution and could even help protect the host from infection. In the present study we examined EVEs in
