Phylogenetic Analysis Reveals That ERVs "Die Young" but HERV-H Is Unusually Conserved
About 8% of the human genome is made up of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Though most human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are thought to be irrelevant to our biology notable exceptions include members of the HERV-H family that are necessary for the correct functioning of stem cells. ERVs are comm...
