A complete endogenous type C viral genome has been isolated from a baboon genomic library.

The PcEV provirus possesses the typical simple retroviral gene organization, including two long terminal repeats and genes encoding gag, pol, and env proteins. The open reading frames for gag-pol and env are complete but have premature stop codons or frameshift ...[more]
