Structure of endogenous retroviral INDEL sequences (>5,000 bp) in humans and chimpanzees. (a) Characteristics of the remnant endogenous retroviral sequences (solo LTRs and/or fragmented elements) in humans. The asterisk indicates 29 chimpanzee specific endogenous retroviral insertions of which: 25 belong to the CERV 1/PTERV1 family (at genomic locations 5p12, 1q25, 12p13, 10q11, 3q11, 14q23, 2p11, 12p11, 4q13, 5q11, 3p22, 11p12, 13q12, 6q25, 7p14, 16p13, 7p21, 3q12, 12q12, 4p12, 5p14, 10q21, 7p14, 7p11, 5q12; 2 belong to the CERV 2 family (at genomic locations 3p24, 19q13); 1 belongs to the CERV 3 (HERVS71) family (at genomic location yp11]; and 1 belongs to the CERV 30 (HERVK10) family (at genomic location 12p13) (Table 3). (b) Characteristics of the remnant endogenous retroviral sequences (solo LTRs and/or fragmented elements) in chimps. The asterisk indicates 8 human specific endogenous retroviral insertions from the CERV 30 (HERVK10) family at genomic locations 22q11, 3q13, 3q27, 5q33, 6q14, 10q24, 11q22, 12q14 (Table 4).
