Composition of ERV-W pre-gag nucleotide sequence. The Catarrhini ERV-W pre-gag sequence was compared to Platyrrhini ERV-W consensus sequence a and to HERVIP10 b by dotplots. The putative ORF sequence within the pre-gag of Platyrrhini and Catarrhini ERV-W is indicated. Note the different location of that sequence within pre-gag. Regions within ERV-W pre-gag informative regarding the evolution of pre-gag are boxed. Nucleotide portions shared between sequences are indicated by red dots, lines and further detailed in the table below. a consensus sequences generated from the proviral datasets used in this study; b reference sequences retrieved from RepBase
