1. Human Endogenous Retroviruses: Expression and Evolutionary Relationships
Sammanfattning : The human genome contains genetic elements which are more or less similar to infectious retroviruses. These are called human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) and are thought to be remnants of infections in the primate lineage. LÄS MER
2. Studies on Human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERVs) with Special Focus on ERV3
Sammanfattning : Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) represent approximately 7% of the human genome. This investigation was focused on one particular HERV, ERV3, with the main purpose of characterising its gene expression patterns and genomic distribution of ERV3-like sequences. LÄS MER
3. Genomic Variation and Evolution of HERV-H and other Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs)
Sammanfattning : An exogenous retrovirus (XRV) that integrates into a germ cell may be inherited as a Mendelian gene; it becomes an endogenous retrovirus (ERV). The human genome consists of up to 8% HERVs. The gammaretroviral (ERV class I) HERV-H, with 926 members, is the largest ERV group. LÄS MER
4. Characterization of transcription of genomic regions harboring HERV-W elements
Sammanfattning : Human endogenous retroviruses (HERV) comprise 8% of the human genome and can be classified into at least 31 families. A typical HERV provirus consists of internal gag, pol and env genes, flanked by two long terminal repeats (LTRs). HERV are by nature repetitive and have with few notable exceptions lost their protein-coding capacity. LÄS MER
5. Studies of human endogenous retroviruses and of the TGF-beta signaling pathway
Sammanfattning : The human genome, in common with all mammalian genomes, carries a high load of inheritable retroviral sequences. We have identified and characterized a novel family of these endogenous retroviruses and have named this family HERV-F as based on the primer binding sites of three members. LÄS MER
