LIVING VIRAL MUSEUM. “The human genome is a living document of ancient and now extinct viruses. Indeed, DNA of retroviral origin makes up 8% of human genome sequence. At a very minimum, each of the more than 31 families of endogenous retrovirus found in the human genome must have arisen from one or more separate paleoviruses that infected the ancestors of modern humans.”
