| the population history of endogenous retroviruses in mule deer (odocoileus hemionus). | mobile elements are powerful agents of genomic evolution and can be exceptionally informative markers for investigating species and population-level evolutionary history. while several studies have utilized retrotransposon-based insertional polymorphisms to resolve phylogenies, few population studies exist outside of humans. endogenous retroviruses are ltr-retrotransposons derived from retroviruses that have become stably integrated in the host genome during past infections and transmitted verti ... | 2017 | 24336966 |
