'MC132 suppresses the immune system by targeting NF-κB, and it had no known homologs until now. The ERV homologs of MC132 in the human genome are mostly disrupted by mutations, but there is an intact copy on chromosome 4. We found homologs of MC132 in ERVs of apes, monkeys, and bushbaby, but not tarsiers, lemurs or non-primates. This suggests that some primate retroviruses had, or have, an extra immune-suppressing protein, which underwent horizontal genetic transfer between unrelated viruses.'

I’m a Post-doc at the University of Oxford, working on the evolution of bacterial genomes and pangenomes. I’m interested in bacterial cooperation and ecology, and how these might interact with horizontal gene transfer.
I’m on the train to Manchester for the #MicroEvo22 meeting, where I’ll be presenting a poster (no. 17). Looking forward to seeing lots of you there!
