RESURRECTION OF ANCIENT EXTINCT HUMAN RETROVIRUSES. “The genomes of most organisms are infested with repeat sequences derived from genomic parasites. In humans, repeat elements constitute ∼45% of the total genome. About 8% of these are contributed by the class of elements that replicate via an RNA intermediate including HERVS.” These Human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERVs) have been successfully resurrected from extinction in the lab. ”
