PS Seminar Series: Ancient origin of envelope-containing retrotransposons in metazoan »
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), also known as retrotransposons, essentially carry two open reading frames that code for GAG and POL. Some ERVs additionally carry a third gene called envelope (env), becoming infectious.
