Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) and ERV-like sequences comprise 8% of the human genome. We aimed to analyze genome integration polymorphisms of human endogenous retrovirus (HERV)-H by the inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP) technique using the sequences of LTR7A (450 bp), LTR7B (445 b...
