Retroviruses ‘almost half a billion years old’
- gus_massa 10y agoI think it's strange that the retroviruses are only half a billon year old. I'd have guessed that they are almost as old as the first cell, but I'm not an expert in this subject. Do invertebrates/fungus/plante/archea/bacteria have retrovirus? Are they related?
