Mouse strain-specific polymorphic provirus functions as cis-regulatory element leading to epigenomic and transcriptomic variations

How polymorphic elements can drive intra-species variation has not been clearly examined. Here the authors show that the polymorphic GLN endogenous retrovirus (ERV) functions as a cis-regulatory element for neighboring genes, leading to differences in how two mouse strains respond to stress.
