About this Research Topic
The primary goal of this Research Topic is to unravel the multifaceted nature of ERVs and their pivotal involvement in aging-related diseases. We aim to bridge the gap between evolutionary biology, functional genomics, and computational modeling to decipher ERVs' contributions across species. By doing so, we aspire to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these elements impact aging-related diseases and how their manipulation could potentially lead to novel therapeutic approaches.
We encourage researchers to contribute to this Research Topic by exploring various facets of ERVs and their intricate connections to aging-related diseases. Manuscripts may encompass evolutionary studies of ERVs in different species, elucidation of their functional roles, and the application of advanced computational models to gain insights into their mechanisms. We encourage original research articles, reviews, and methodological papers that enhance our comprehension of ERVs.
