The Caulimoviridae is a family of double-stranded DNA viruses that infect plants. The
genomes of most vascular plants contain endogenous caulimovirids (ECVs), a class of …

Simple Summary Transposons are the most abundant repeats in plant genomes, and many
of them can produce transcripts and encode proteins that may result in overestimating and …

Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) are remnants of viral genetic material endogenized into
the host genome. They have, in the last decades, attracted attention for their role as potential …

Horizontal gene transfer is a phenomenon of genetic material transmission between species
with no parental relationship. It has been characterized among several major branches of …

Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) are fragments of viral genomic material embedded
within the host genome. Retroviruses contribute to the majority of EVEs due to their genomic …
