Falling fowl of the chicken reference genome: pitfalls of studying polymorphic endogenous retroviruses
Abstract High quality reference genomes have facilitated the study of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). However, there are an increasing number of published works which assume the ERVs in reference genomes are universal; even those of evolutionarily recent integrations. Consequently, these studies fai...
