From: Disease-associated XMRV sequences are consistent with laboratory contamination
Alignment of XMRV gag -leader sequence with gag -leader sequences from endogenous MLVs in mice. XMRV-like sequences from four inbred mice containing the 24 nt deletion signature were identified by deep sequencing and one sequence identified by BLAST. The most similar sequences from the C57BL/6 genome are shown for comparison and all sequences are compared to XMRV VP62. Numbering refers to the length of the PCR product derived using primers EG87 and EG89 (Additional File 1; Table S1).
