Comprehensive profiling of retroviral integration sites using target enrichment methods from historical koala samples without an assembled reference genome

Comprehensive profiling of retroviral integration sites using target enrichment methods from historical koala samples without an assembled reference genome

Background. Retroviral integration into the host germline results in permanent viral colonization of vertebrate genomes. The koala retrovirus (KoRV) is currently invading the germline of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) and provides a unique opportunity for studying retroviral endogenization. Prev...
