LTR-retrotransposon transcriptome modulation in response to endotoxin-induced stress in PBMCs
Abstract Background Human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERVs) and Mammalian apparent LTR-retrotransposons (MaLRs) represent the 8% of our genome and are distributed among our 46 chromosomes. These LTR-retrotransposons are thought to be essentially silent except in cancer, autoimmunity and placental deve...
