“ERVs belong to the class of retroelements possessing the three viral genes group-specific antigen (gag), polymerase (pol) and envelope (env) flanked by two long terminal repeats (LTR). Deletions and mutations resulted in inactivation of most of the 400,000 ERV copies, but some sustained an intact open reading frame and are able to express ERV sequences on RNA and protein level. In the majority of cases ERVs will be expressed tissue specific.”
