Phylogenetic relatedness of ERV mch8 to three ecotropic mouse ERVs. A. Phylogenetic relatedness of ERVmch8 with three mouse ecotropic ERVs, which have been characterized previously: complete nucleotide sequence (full provirus), gag polypeptide, pol polypeptide, and env polypeptide. MelARV (melanoma-associated retrovirus) (DQ366148.1), Emv1 (DQ366147.1), and NeRV (DQ366149.1) [17, 18]. B. A main polymorphic region found in the gag p30 gene of ERVmch8 in comparison to the reference ecotropic ERVs is presented. Only the nucleotides different from the ERVmch8 sequence are indicated.
