DYNAMIC AND MODULAR. "The exaptations of former (infection-derived) inventions to more more appropriate needs...offering a highly dynamic modular perspective on these interacting agents." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn

SWARM SOPHISTICATION. "It is now possible to appreciate how sophisticatedly the competent agents act in the case of endogenous retroviral swarms, that have reached a persistent and nonlytic lifestyle." https://lnkd.in/euyhznh View in LinkedIn

MOBILE GENETIC ELEMENTS. "These agents enable complex organisms to integrate several temporal steps and a great variety of coordinated signalling processes in eukaryotic cell replication, fix them in a conserved DNA storage medium, and if necessary, resolve conservation, change, rearrange, or newly construct the whole genomic content and sequence order." https://lnkd.in/euyhznh View in LinkedIn

POWERFUL GENETIC MAKEOVERS. "Recent research shows extensive dynamic DNA remodelling by mobile agents, such as transposons, retroposons, and noncoding RNAs, which are able to cause a wide variety of DNA arrangements, rearrangements, and recombinations." https://lnkd.in/euyhznh View in LinkedIn

PERSISTENT RNA RETROVIRUSES. "In becoming part of the identity of the host genotype they change the genome formation and transfer a phenotype to the host that noninfected host genomes do not possess." https://lnkd.in/euyhznh View in LinkedIn

PERSISTENT RNA RETROVIRUSES. "The overwhelming majority are nonlytic but persistent retroviruses. They infect the host organism and integrate their gag, pol, env functional parts into the host genome and adapt to the replication cycle of the host organism without leaving the host cells." https://lnkd.in/euyhznh View in LinkedIn

NON-LYTIC LIFESTYLE. "We can find similar reproduction patterns in RNA viruses. Replication of retroviruses in eukaryotes depends on successful entry into the membrane of host cells. Some retroviruses circumvent this active entry of the cellular membrane in that they wait until the start of the cell-cycle phase-dependent dissolution of the cell membrane during replication." https://lnkd.in/euyhznh View in LinkedIn

NEW THINKING. "In contrast to former opinions about the expression levels of genomes it is now increasingly clear that most eukaryotic genomes are highly expressed and a great abundance of noncoding RNAs with regulatory functions are transcribed." https://lnkd.in/euyhznh View in LinkedIn
