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

The study of viral molecular genetics has produced a considerable body of research into the
sequences and phylogenetic relationships of human and animal viruses. A review of this …

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are remnants of ancient retroviral infections, and comprise
nearly 8% of the human genome. The most recently acquired human ERV is HERVK (HML …

Schizophrenia is a serious brain disease of uncertain etiology. A role for retroviruses in the
etiopathogenesis of some cases of schizophrenia has been postulated on the basis of …

ABSTRACT A significant proportion of the human genome consists of stably inherited
retroviral sequences. Most human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) became defective over …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) and related genetic elements form 504 distinct
families and occupy~ 8% of human genome. Recent success of high-throughput …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), viral-associated sequences, are normal
components of the human genome and account for 8–9% of our genome. These original …

Reporter gene analysis of HERV-K solitary long terminal repeats (LTRs) showed that they
retain detectable activity in human teratocarcinoma cells, and can direct the transcription in …

The overall prognosis of patients with advanced melanoma is poor due to the lack of
effective treatment. A key factor for successful therapy is an early detection of disease …

Objective: Retrovirus has been suggested as one of agents involved in the development of
schizophrenia. In the present study, we examined the role of the human endogenous …
