Bracoviruses can integrate into the host genome via host integrated motif (HIM), as in the cases of Microplitis demolitor bracovirus (MdBV) (Beck et al., 2011) and Cotesia congregata bracovirus (CcBV)
SARS-CoV-2 sequences can be reverse-transcribed and integrated into the genomes of virus-infected cells by a LINE1 mediated retrotransposition mechanism. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) methods detected
Multiple DNA viruses have evolutionary colonized the germ line (endogenization) of their hosts, yet their mechanism(s) of insertion and biological functions remain largely unclear. Here we report the
