| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A genome is the complete set of genetic information in an organism. Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) within our genome is known as a retrotransposon and similar to present day exogenous retroviruses. In this study, the HERV insertional mutations in tumor were investigated. Next-generation sequencing analysis revealed some HERV insertional mutations in tumor, but they could not be validated using a long range PCR method. The number of HERVs is different between individuals, and it is known as an insertional polymorphism. In this study, some HERV insertional polymorphisms with prominent feature were found.
