Endogenous viruses: Connecting recent and ancient viral evolution
Open accessAbstract
The rapid rates of viral evolution allow us to reconstruct the recent history of viruses in great detail. This feature, however, also results in rapid erosion of evolutionary signal within viral molecular data, impeding studies of their deep history. Thus, the further back in time, the less accurate the inference becomes. Furthermore, reconstructing complex histories of transmission can be challenging, especially where extinct viral lineages are concerned. This problem has been partially solved by the discovery of viruses embedded in host genomes, known as endogenous viral elements (EVEs). Some of these endogenous viruses are derived from ancient relatives of extant viruses, allowing us to better examine ancient viral host range, geographical distribution and transmission routes. Moreover, our knowledge of viral evolutionary timescales and rate dynamics has also been greatly improved by their discovery, thereby bridging the gap between recent and ancient viral evolution.

“This method has been used to date many ERV integration events, revealing that most retroviral families are many millions of years old (Brown et al., 2014; Cui et al., 2012a; Katzourakis and Tristem, 2005; Lavie et al., 2004; Martins and Villesen, 2011; Sinzelle et al., 2011; Tristem, 2000).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
