Hiding in the heterochromatin: Endogenous pararetroviruses escape elimination from the genome of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris)

Here we provide supplementary data for our study of endogenous pararetroviruses in the sugar beet genome (beetEPRVs). Our genome-wide screen showed the presence of three beetEPRVs families in the genome of sugar beet (<em>Beta vulgaris</em>). This dataset contains the consensus sequence for each beetEPRV family (Data S1) and the underlying multiple sequence alignments of individual, genomic beetEPRV copies (Data S2-S5). All data are provided in FASTA format. Sequence names include information on the analysed sugar beet assembly (EL10.1; genebank accession SAMN07736104; Funk <em>et al.</em>, 2018), chromosomal position (chromosome identifier; start and stop position), and sequence orientation (forward = plus; reverse = minus).
