HESAS: HERVs Expression and Structure Analysis System
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY HESAS (HERVs Expression and Structure Analysis System) database was developed to understand the human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) that have an effect on the expression of human functional genes. The database products are generated by the exon-based expressed sequence tag clustering and reconstructing of partial HERV structures that result from various mutations during primate evolution. The expression types were classified according to the existence of splicing, transcriptional start and polyadenylation signal sites. The database currently contains HERV information on 26,981 human genes of exon-intron structure. The HERV elements were inserted into 17,317 of these genes and linked to expression with 898 genes.

Human Endogenous Retrovirus: Their Relationship with Hematological Diseases
Human endogenous retrovirus (HERVs) integrated in the human genome millions of years ago and became a stable part of the inherited genetic material. Most of these HERVs are dysfunctional due to numerous mutations and thus making it impossible to generate a full, infectious retrovirus particle from a single genetic locus. However, many HERVs are still exceptionally well preserved and maintain Op...

متن کاملHuman endogenous retroviruses and cancer
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are retroviruses that infected human genome millions of years ago and have persisted throughout human evolution. About 8% of our genome is composed of HERVs, most of which are nonfunctional because of epigenetic control or deactivating mutations. However, a correlation between HERVs and human cancer has been described and many tumors, such as melanoma, brea...

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) represent footprints of previous retroviral infections. They are integrated within the human germ line and constitute approximately 8% of our genome. They have the potential to harm, given their capacity to alter the cellular metabolism, and could be involved in various pathological processes. This revision intends to highlight the importance of HERVs in he...

About 8 per cent of the human genome consists of human endogenous retroviral sequences (HERVs), which are remains from ancient infections. The HERVs may give rise to transcripts or affect the expression of human genes. The first step in understanding HERV function is to classify HERVs into families. In this work we study the relationships of existing HERV families and detect potentially new HER...
