Long terminal repeats (LTRs) of human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) located near or within genes might affect their expression. We used the KIAA1245/NBPF human gene subfamily in an attempt to assess the regulatory potential of HERV LTRs. The subfamily includes five closely related paralogous genes: three of them contain an LTR in the second intron, and two genes lack it. Earlier we reported that...
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) occupy about 5% of human DNA and are thought to be remnants of ancient retroviral infections of human ancestors' germ cells. HERVs can modify expression of host cell genes through their cis-regulatory elements concentrated in their long terminal repeats (LTRs). Although numerous HERV-related RNAs were identified in the human transcriptome, for most of them, it...
We have developed a method of targeted genomic difference analysis (TGDA) for genomewide detection of interspersed repeat integration site differences between closely related genomes. The method includes a whole-genome amplification of the flanks adjacent to target interspersed repetitive elements in both genomic DNAs under comparison, and subtractive hybridization (SH) of the selected amplicons....
