Improved Integration Time Estimation of Endogenous Retroviruses with Phylogenetic Data

BACKGROUND: Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are genetic fossils of ancient retroviral integrations that remain in the genome of many organisms. Most loci are rendered non-functional by mutations, but several intact retroviral genes are known in mammalian genomes. Some have been adopted by the host sp...
