Analysis of genomic and expression data allows both
identification and characterization of novel retroviruses. We describe a recombinant type C murine retrovirus, similar to the Mus
dunni endogenous retrovirus, with VL30-like long terminal repeats
and murine leukemia virus-like coding sequences. This virus is present in multiple copies in the mouse genome and expressed in a range of
mouse tissues.
