		A Retrovirus is a virus which has a genome consisting of two plus sense RNA molecules, which may or may not be identical.
		These endogenous retroviruses (vs. exogenous) have special attention in the research of immunology-related pathologies.
		The term "retro" in retrovirus refers to this reversal of the central dogma of molecular biology.

		As a general rule, the number of groups of viral sequences found within a given vertebrate species is proportional to the effort spent searching that species" (13).

		Up to 1% of the human genome is represented by human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) and their fragments that are likely footprints of ancient primate germ-cell infections that occurred 10-60 million years ago.
