The Regulation and Functions of Endogenous Retrovirus in Embryo Development and Stem Cell Differentiation by Yangquan Xiang, Hongqing Liang

“…Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are repetitive sequences in the genome, belonging to the retrotransposon family. During the course of life, ERVs are associated with multiple aspects of chromatin and transcriptional regulation in development and pathological conditions. …”

Template switching during DNA replication is a prevalent source of adaptive gene amplification by Julie N Chuong, Nadav Ben Nun, Ina Suresh, Julia Cano Matthews, Titir De, Grace Avecilla, Farah Abdul-Rahman, Nathan Brandt, Yoav Ram, David Gresham

“…In the absence of local LTRs, homologous recombination can mediate gene amplification following de novo retrotransposon events. Our study reveals that template switching during DNA replication is a prevalent source of adaptive CNVs.…”
