Retroviruses are viruses composed not of DNA (a double-stranded helix: deoxyribonucleic acid), but of RNA (single-stranded: ribonucleic acid). They use an enzyme called reverse transcriptase that gives …

Using retrovirus in research has built up the need to advance the investigation in detail regarding the viral particles and genomes, their modes of replication, integration, and host immune evasion.

We produce retroviruses by transfecting multiple plasmids that between them provide all of the necessary components for vector particle production. However, the genome plasmid does not …

Ongoing research into retrovirus biology, pathogenesis, and treatment strategies continues to provide insights into combating these viruses and utilizing them for scientific progress.

ABSTRACT: Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), a subset of genomic transposable elements (TEs) in a broader sense, have remained latent within mammalian genomes for tens of millions of years. These …
