Positive Selection of Iris, a Retroviral Envelope–Derived Host Gene in Drosophila melanogaster

Eukaryotic genomes can usurp enzymatic functions encoded by mobile elements for their own use. A particularly interesting kind of acquisition involves the domestication of retroviral envelope genes, which confer infectious membrane-fusion ability to retroviruses. So far, these examples have been lim...
