No evidence for natural selection on endogenous borna-like nucleoprotein elements after the divergence of Old World and New World monkeys.

Endogenous Borna-like nucleoprotein (EBLNs) elements were recently discovered as non-retroviral RNA virus elements derived from bornavirus in the genomes of various animals.
