Abstract: | Background Sequencing projects have allowed diverse retroviruses and LTR retrotransposons from different eukaryotic organisms to be characterized.
It is known that retroviruses and other retro-transcribing viruses evolve from LTR retrotransposons and that this whole system
clusters into five families: Ty3/Gypsy, Retroviridae, Ty1/Copia, Bel/Pao and Caulimoviridae. Phylogenetic analyses usually show that these split into multiple distinct lineages but what is yet to be understood is
how deep evolution occurred in this system. |
