Difference between Endogenous retrovirus and Horizontal gene transfer

Endogenous retrovirus vs. Horizontal gene transfer

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are endogenous viral elements in the genome that closely resemble and can be derived from retroviruses. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) or lateral gene transfer (LGT) is the movement of genetic material between unicellular and/or multicellular organisms other than by the ("vertical") transmission of DNA from parent to offspring.

Similarities between Endogenous retrovirus and Horizontal gene transfer

Endogenous retrovirus and Horizontal gene transfer have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cell (biology), Cell nucleus, Enzyme, Gene expression, Genome, Provirus, Retrotransposon, Transposable element.

Cell (biology)

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms.

Cell nucleus

In cell biology, the nucleus (pl. nuclei; from Latin nucleus or nuculeus, meaning kernel or seed) is a membrane-enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells.

Retrotransposon

Retrotransposons (also called transposons via RNA intermediates) are genetic elements that can amplify themselves in a genome and are ubiquitous components of the DNA of many eukaryotic organisms.

Transposable element

A transposable element (TE or transposon) is a DNA sequence that can change its position within a genome, sometimes creating or reversing mutations and altering the cell's genetic identity and genome size.

Endogenous retrovirus and Horizontal gene transfer Comparison

Endogenous retrovirus has 95 relations, while Horizontal gene transfer has 169. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 3.03% = 8 / (95 + 169).
