description: Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are common in vertebrate genomes; a typical
  mammalian genome contains tens to hundreds of thousands of ERV elements. Most ERVs
  are evolutionarily old and have accumulated multiple mutations, playing important
  roles in physiology and disease processes. The Human Endogenous Retrovirus Database
  (hERV) is compiled from the human genome nucleotide sequences obtained from Human
  Genome Projects, and screens those sequences for hERVs, whilst continuously improving
  classification and characterization of retroviral families. It provides access to
  individual reconstructed HERV elements, their sequence, structure and features.
