IMMUNITY TO RETROVIRAL INFECTIONS. “As intron-rich linear chromosomes are the preferred habitat for persistent retroviral infections, and because of their important role in host-genetic content (re) arrangements, the invention of bacterial circular genomes must have had an effective immune function against retroviral infections. The result was the evolution of organisms that successfully escaped the high selective pressures of the early RNA world.”
