Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are genetic elements present in the genome that retain traces of past viral infections. Characterization of ERVs can provide crucial insights into avian evolution. This study aimed to identify novel long te...
Chickens harbor two primary families of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs): the avian leukosis virus (ALV) and endogenous avian retrovirus (EAV) families. Characterization of ERVs can provide crucial insights into avian evolution. This study...
