aRefers to most distant species with shared provirus. Determined by searching for provirus at the corresponding locus by BLAT

searching flanking sequence in the chimpanzee, orangutan, and rhesus publicly available genomes on the UCSC genome browser.

bRegion is flanked by satellite DNA, no good match found in non-human primate genomes.

cNo good match found in non-human primate genomes.

dProvirus is a product of a duplication event post human/chimpanzee split.

eProvirus is a product of a duplication event post chimpanzee/orangutan split.

fFrom Hughes and Coffin, 2001.

gAges based upon molecular clock calculations from Hughes and Coffin, 2005. N/A indicates unpaired LTRs or LTRs lacking sufficient sequence to determine age. Asterisk denotes age listed is for a recombinant provirus.
