"What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?

8% of the human genome is made of viral sequences, and another 35-50% are virus-like sequences with the ability to hop around your genome.

For comparison, only 1.5-3% of your genome contains genes.

We're basically a vehicle for viruses."
