Developing a Single-Cycle Infectious System to Study an ERV-K Retroviral Envelope
Thesis advisor: Welkin Johnson === Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs) are “fossilized” retroviruses of a once exogenous retrovirus located in the genome of extant vertebrates. Retroviral infection results in a provirus integration into the host genome. An infection of a germline cell could lead to the p...
