Highly Variable Genomic Landscape of Endogenous Retroviruses in the C57BL/6J Inbred Strain, Depending on Individual Mouse, Gender, Organ Type, and Organ Location

Figure 7

Gender- and organ type-dependent differences in genomic copy number of MLV-ERVs in C57BL/6J inbred mice. There were higher copy numbers of MLV-ERVs in the kidney and liver genomes of the same male mice, which are described in Figure 6, in comparison to female mice. Importantly, within all three male mice, but not in females, the kidney genomes had substantially more MLV-ERV copies compared to the liver genomes. .
