Mysterious Viral DNA in Human Genome Linked With Psychiatric Disorders

AuroBlog - Aurous Healthcare Clinical Trials blog

Around 8% of human DNA is made up of genetic sequences acquired from ancient viruses. These sequences, known as human endogenous retroviruses (or Hervs), date back hundreds of thousands to millions of years – with some even predating the emergence of Homo sapiens. Our latest research suggests that some ancient viral DNA sequences in the […]
