Evolution and biological significance of human retroelements
Virus Genes, 1995Retroelements comprise a substantial portion of the human genome. Their large number and ubiquitous distribution has led scientists to speculate about their evolutionary origin and their biological functions. Human endogenous retroviruses and their retrotransposon relatives represent a reservoir of possibly pathogenic retroviral genes that may be ...

Retroelements in Microorganisms
1992Retroelements are a diverse, widely distributed group of genetic elements that can replicate through an RNA intermediate. Genes for reverse transcriptase, the key enzyme in this process, have been found associated with retroelements in plants, animals, eukaryotic protists, and, most recently, in prokaryotes. Much progress has been made in understanding

Retroelements and formation of chimeric retrogenes
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2004It is very likely that formation of new genes is the main pathway of molecular evolution in living organisms. Many such genes are products of preexisting reshuffling of genetic material. In these processes a very important role is played by mutations associated with the activity of transposable elements, mostly retroelements (REs) for higher eukaryotes.
