   Recombinant origin and interspecies transmission of a HERV-K(HML-2)-related primate retrovirus with a novel RNA transport element

   Zachary H Williams, Alvaro Dafonte Imedio ... Welkin E Johnson

   The genetic 'fossil record' of a retroviral lineage over >25 million years of evolution reveals the profound consequences of an ancient recombination event on viral replication mechanisms and genome structure, and identifies an ancient interspecies viral transmission.

    The protein domains of vertebrate species in which selection is more effective have greater intrinsic structural disorder

    Catherine A Weibel, Andrew L Wheeler ... Joanna Masel

    Proteins evolve more intrinsic structural disorder under more effective selection, with selection assessed via a novel metric of codon adaptation.
