HIJACKING HOST GENES. “As a result of this domain-specific ecology, viruses often integrate host genes via specific highways of lateral gene transfer. Eukaryotic viruses tend to hijack genes directly from their eukaryotic hosts to evade, manipulate and counter-strike antiviral immune responses, with the exception of some giant viruses that appear to acquire genes from all domains of life.”
