New Tool Decodes Ancient Viral Fossils in Human Genome
Original: Ancient Viral Fossils Decoded: New Tool untangles the Human Genome’s Endogenous Retroviruses
Researchers have unveiled a new computational tool that disentangles endogenous retroviruses, the remnants of ancient viral infections embedded in human DNA. These 'viral fossils' make up a large share of the genome and have been linked to gene regulation, development and disease. The tool promises clearer mapping of these sequences, a step forward for genomics and evolutionary biology.
Why now: Fresh coverage of a new genomics tool that sheds light on viral remnants in human DNA has drawn scientific interest.
