Viral protein found in cancer, lupus, ALS traced to infection from millions of years ago
We’re all mostly human. 8% of your genome comes from viruses. In A Nutshell Scientists captured the first detailed images of ...
Human DNA is not always making us function in ways we understand. Some of our genome is just there, and we’re not sure what it does. In fact, 8% of our DNA are viruses our ancestors caught one day and ...
Our ancient past isn't always buried history. When it comes to our DNA, nearly 9% of the human genome is made up of leftover genetic material from ancient viruses (called endogenous retroviruses or ...
Remnants of ancient viral pandemics in the form of viral DNA sequences embedded in our genomes are still active in healthy people, according to new research my colleagues and I recently published.

Ancient human retrovirus DNA could be one of the markers of susceptibility to mental illness—specifically schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder, a new study suggests. An ...
Peek inside the human genome and, among the 20,000 or so genes that serve as building blocks of life, you'll also find flecks of DNA left behind by viruses that infected primate ancestors tens of ...
Koalas from a population north of the Brisbane River have evolved a unique genomic immunity to the killer retrovirus ...
Foamy viruses (FVs) are a unique group of retroviruses that have co-evolved with their animal hosts for hundreds of millions of years. Unlike other retroviruses, FVs are generally considered ...
Peek inside the human genome and, among the 20,000 or so genes that serve as building blocks of life, you’ll also find flecks of DNA left behind by viruses that infected primate ancestors tens of ...
These ancient hitchhikers, known as endogenous retroviruses, were long considered inert or 'junk' DNA, defanged of any ability to do damage. New CU Boulder research published July 17 in the journal ...
