A team of researchers at the Yale School of Medicine have developed a new tool that opens the door for the genetic analysis of a wide range of human diseases.
The group has pioneered a way of understanding endogenous retroviruses, known as ERVs, which are remnants of retroviruses — a type of RNA virus that inserts its DNA into a host cell — that have integrated into the genome of the human body over millennia. This tool, called ERVmap, enables researchers to explore these pieces of retroviral RNA that have invaded the human genome but largely remain mysterious in terms of their function.
