Endogenous bornavirus-like elements

Masayuki Horie, Osaka Metropolitan University, Japan

Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) are inheritable sequences present in the genomes of eukaryotes originating from viruses. Although bornaviruses are non-retroviral RNA viruses, we and others previously discovered EVEs derived from bornaviruses in vertebrate genomes. These findings have expanded our knowledge of virology, cellular biology, evolutionary biology, and more.

Here, I will cover endogenous bornavirus-like elements (EBLs) from three aspects: (i) the biological significance of EBLs, (ii) the paleovirology of bornaviruses, and (iii) a novel strategy to detect EBLs.
