Viruses are ubiquitous, essential components of any ecosystem, and of multicellular
organism holobionts. Numerous viruses cause acute infection, killing the host or being …

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) effectively reduces cycles of viral replication but does not target
proviral populations in cells that persist for prolonged periods and that can undergo clonal …

Background The “missing” link of complex and multifaceted interplay among endogenous
retroviruses (ERVs) transcription, chronic immuno-inflammation, and the development of …

Abstract The BTBR T+ Itpr3 tf/J (BTBR/J) strain is one of the most valid models of idiopathic
autism, serving as a potent forward genetics tool to dissect the complexity of autism. We …

Five to ten percent of mammalian genomes is occupied by multiple clades of endogenous
retroviruses (ERVs), that may count thousands of members. New ERV clades arise by …

Human retroelements (HERVs) are retroviral origin sequences fixed in the human genome.
HERVs induction is associated with neurogenesis, cellular development, immune activation …

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are important components of transposable elements that
constitute∼ 40% of the mouse genome. ERVs exhibit dynamic expression patterns during …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are estimated to comprise∼ 8% of the entire
human genome, but the vast majority of them remain transcriptionally silent in most normal …

The human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are ancient exogenous retroviruses that were
embedded in the germline over 30 million years ago and underwent an endogenization …

Feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) is a retrovirus that infects domestic and wild cats around the
world. FeLV infection is associated with the development of neoplasms, bone marrow …
