Provirus

Definition
AI-generated

Integrated viral genome in a host cell (e.g. retroviral integration).

Why it matters in GWAS

GWAS hits are interpreted through gene structure, regulation, and variant consequence; molecular vocabulary connects association statistics to mechanism.

Example usage

"The methods explicitly include Provirus to support interpretation of the main findings."
