Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), or LTR retrotransposons, are a class of transposable
elements that are highly represented in mammalian genomes. Human ERVs (HERVs) make …

Retroviral integration into germline DNA can result in the formation of a vertically inherited
proviral sequence called an endogenous retrovirus (ERV). Over the course of their …

Nearly half of mammalian genomes are derived from ancient transposable elements (TEs).
We analyzed the prevalence of TEs in untranslated regions of human and mouse mRNAs …

Transposable elements, including endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), comprise almost 45%
of the human genome. This could represent a significant pathogenic burden but it is …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) were first identified almost 20 years ago, and
since then numerous families have been described. It has, however, been difficult to obtain a …

While the significance of middle repetitive elements had been neglected for a long time,
there are again tendencies to ascribe most members of a given middle repetitive sequence …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are a potential source of genetic diversity in the
human genome. Although many of these elements have been inactivated over time by the …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), probably representing footprints of ancient germ‐
cell retroviral infections, occupy about 1% of the human genome. HERVs can influence …

To examine the potential regulatory involvement of retroelements in the human genome, we
screened the transcribed sequences of GenBank TM and expressed sequence tag data …

Interspersed repetitive sequences are major components of eukaryotic genomes. Repetitive
elements comprise over 50% of the mammalian genome. Because the specific function of …
