After viruses infected our evolutionary ancestors, bits of viral DNA lodged themselves into their genomes—and we still carry around genetic remnants of those viruses now. Known as endogenous ...

Around 8% of the human genome is made up of ancient viral sequences—endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) that integrated into our ancestors’ germline millions of years ago. Once thought to be inert genetic ...
