Koalas in Queensland show unique immunity to deadly retrovirus
Koalas from a population north of the Brisbane River have evolved a unique genomic immunity to the killer retrovirus threatening their species.

Release a retrovirus that melanates the entire human race

Fun fact: there is an airborne retrovirus in sheep that gives them lung cancer, Jaagsiekte sheep retrovirus.

What's really cool about it is that it depends on *endogenous* retroviruses that long ago permanently entered the sheep genome. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaagsie...

Is this a retrovirus?
God this shit was cool as fuck

When you're a retrovirus but also a Pokémon
I'm sorry but if I happened to be googling HIV for, say, quite bleak personal reasons (thankfully not the case here), I wouldn't be THRILLED by this illustration right at the top of the page

Excited to share our latest paper in Genome Biology!

We analyzed 405 wild koalas to reconstruct the ongoing invasion of KoRV-A, one of the few opportunities to observe ERV evolution in real time.

Great work by all collaborators. @lubanlab.bsky.social

"The CIA was giving out aids retrovirus doesn't make the CIA nice."

So eople still got their retrovirus pills.

˜8% do seu DNA é vírus

Cerca de 8% do genoma humano é formado por sequências virais chamadas retrovírus endógenos (ERVs). Esses retrovírus integraram seu material genético ao DNA dos nossos ancestrais e foram transmitidos às gerações seguintes. Mas a maioria dessas sequências não está mais ativa.

That gene is ERVW-1, endogenous retrovirus group W.

Once, 25 million years ago, it helped that retrovirus evade a primate's immune system.

Now you use it so your immune system doesn't kill your embryo.

"I told her I was not a retrovirus" is one of those sentences that make me love social media

Becoming the anti-Brianna Wu by isolating the trans gene (which definitely exists) and engineering it into a retrovirus that I release into the water supply. Transgender for everyone

Los que me conocéis sabéis que uno de los objetos de mi investigación son los retrovirus endógenos, virus que todos tenemos en nuestro genoma y ocupan un 8 % de nuestro ADN.

Pues atentos, que ahora @cedricfeschotte.bsky.social et al han descubierto el primer virus… ¡con ADN humano! 🤯

latent sleeper retrovirus that triggers melanin production in people who have taken ivermectin, alphabrain, etc

And AIDS.

It’s not a retrovirus.

It’s a betacoronavirus.

Read the science.

It destroys blood vessels.

It causes syncytial formations and immune dysfunction.

Lymphocytopenia.

Reactivates other viruses.

You’re not immune.

Herd immunity is not possible for this virus until mutation is slowed.

Specifically the RJ-45phage retrovirus. Quite nasty, you need to inform the WHO.

Los retrovirus endógenos molan. 😎

Un nuevo estudio en @nature.com demuestra el papel fundamental que juegan los retrovirus endógenos (en concreto, el terminal LTR5H del retrovirus HERVK) en el desarrollo embrionario de primates. De hecho, una de estas secuencias es específica de humanos. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

We're not saying BAT FAN is the best chiropteran retrovirus serum on the market...but it is the only one with a free* injector!

HIV meds are very safe for people with HIV because, like every intervention should be judged, the risk:benefit analysis favors taking the medicine and surviving and living a normal life. SARS-CoV2 is not a retrovirus. There’s no evidence that antiretrovirals would help. They do have significant risk
