From: Identification of a novel HERV-K(HML10): comprehensive characterization and comparative analysis in non-human primates provide insights about HML10 proviruses structure and diffusion

Chromosomal distribution of HML10 proviruses and solitary LTRs. The number of HML10 elements integrated in each human chromosome is depicted and compared with respect to the number of expected random insertion events based on chromosomal length. To have a more reliable estimation, we considered the number of proviruses identified by Vargiu et al. 2016 [3] as well as the solitary LTR relics, as reported by Broecker et al. 2016 [27], also representing previous integration events. The two sequences in locus 6p21.33, being a duplication of the same proviral integration, were counted as a single provirus. * statistically significant based on chi-square test (p < 0,0001)
