Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a novel murine leukemia virus-related subgroup within mammals.
TL;DR: Genetic distances and several other properties of the HERV.E genome suggest that if exogenous members of this subgroup exist, they are likely to have biological properties different from those of the other exogenous viruses of this genus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and expression of two baculovirus gp37 genes
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis showed that baculovirus gp37 genes and entomopoxvirus fusolin genes form two distinct and well-separated clades and there was no evidence of recent gene transfer between the two groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic screening of Anopheles mosquito genomes yields evidence for a major clade of Pao-like retrotransposons.
TL;DR: A degenerate PCR procedure to simultaneously amplify products from divergent retrotransposon families within the genomes of Anopheles mosquitoes developed a new family of Pao‐like LTR‐retrotransposons distinct from the Copia and Gypsy families.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Highly Divergent Retroviral Sequence in the Tuatara (Sphenodon)
TL;DR: Sequence analysis of a retroviral fragment isolated from the reptile tuatara (Sphenodon) demonstrated that it is substantially different from previously reported viruses, and that it cannot easily be placed into any known retroViral genus.
