Abstract: Independently acquired envelope (env) genes from endogenous retroviruses have contributed to the placental trophoblast cell-cell fusion in therian mammals. Egg-laying mammals (monotremes) are an important sister clade for understanding mammalian placental evolution, but the env… read more here.
