A computational framework to assess genome-wide distribution of polymorphic human endogenous retrovirus-K In human populations.
Human Endogenous Retrovirus type K (HERV-K) is the only HERV known to be insertionally polymorphic; not all individuals have a retrovirus at a specific genomic location. It is possible that HERV-Ks contribute to human disease because people differ in both number and genomic location of these retrovi...
