From table 11 of Initial sequencing and analysis of the human genome, ERVs found in humans (HERVs) include
112,000 ERV-class Is + 8,000 ERV(K)-class IIs + 83,000 ERV(L)-class IIIs = 203,000 ERVs.
From table 2 of Initial sequence of the chimpanzee genome and comparison with the human genome,
279 of the 203,000 ERVs are specific to chimps, and 82 are specific to humans.
The vast majority of the 203,000 ERVs are common to chimps and humans, and appear in corresponding locations in our genomes. See https://web.archive.org/web/20230531193743/http://www.evolutionarymodel.com/ervs.htm#Amount_of_Shared_ERVs

The table shows lineage specific insertions, not shared.
ReplyDeleteYes, it does. It says it does.
DeleteSorry berry can you please share every sources that show pictures that directly compare whole chromosomes of both humans and chimps side by side with arrows or something that show the locations of the ervs on their whole chromosomes? Tank you
ReplyDeleteI've never seen such pictures, but go to https://www.evolutionarymodel.com/ervs.htm#Amount_of_Shared_ERVs
