There’s a gene in our DNA that seems to come from an infection by an ancient virus—but no one knows its true purpose
You're walking around right now carrying the genetic fingerprints of infections that happened millions of years ago. Deep ...
Scientists in Japan have discovered a genetic "silencer" within the HTLV-1 virus that helps it stay hidden in the body, evading the immune system for decades. This silencer element essentially turns ...
Viral reverse transcriptase (RT) plays a critical role in replication (e.g., retroviruses, that reverse transcribe RNA templates into complementary DNA) and genome mutations (e.g., ...
The re-transcribed DNA is then integrated into the genome of the host cell (Figure 2). This process requires the absence of the nuclear membrane and thus is restricted to the M-phase of proliferating ...
