FUNCTIONAL HERV LTRs. “The vast majority of these HERV elements are presumably not infectious or functional, but there are numerous reports on the expression of endogenous retroviral transcripts in human tissues and cell lines, mostly of placental, embryonic, or neoplastic origin. This suggests that a considerable number of HERV LTRs have retained their transcriptional activity.”
