Long-Read Sequencing Reveals a GC Pressure during the Evolution of Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus.

ABSTRACT: Here, we present the complete genome sequence of a porcine endogenous retrovirus determined by Pacific Biosciences sequencing. A comparison of the genome of this isolate with those of other strains revealed the operation of a mechanism resulting in the selective accumulation of G and C bases in the viral DNA.
