One of the best studied models of this process is the koala retrovirus (KoRV), which is currently colonising the koala genome. "What happens to the virus and the host during this process of genome ...

A retrovirus is a virus that works by converting its own RNA into DNA once it is in a host cell. It then integrates this DNA into the DNA of the host cell, allowing the virus to replicate.

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers assess the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on endogenous retroviruses of the LTR69 subfamily. Study: SARS-CoV-2 infection ...
