Viruses and retroelements in brain. (A) Screening of 12 normal brain samples (Miami and Rockefeller datasets) with the stripped (to remove all sequences similar to human) genomes corresponding to the top 20 viruses (>99% of brain matches in Readhead et al. 2018; text for details) revealed matches only for adenovirus type C. (B) Screening for retroelements and endogenous retroviruses showing that transcripts for LINE and SINE elements are highly abundant, whereas endogenous retrovirus transcripts are much less abundant (8–128-fold). All samples were HIV1-negative
