“Alien DNA”? The Viral Sequences That Became Part of the Human Genome Headlines call it alien. Scientists call it horizontal gene transfer. What the latest genomic research actually reveals is far more extraordinary and far more terrestrial than either framing suggests. Roughly 8% of your DNA was written by viruses. “Alien DNA” Headlines Oversimplify The Reality of Viral Gene Integration Every few months, a paper drops in genomics and the science communication machinery briefly overheats.

Not alien DNA. Ancient viral DNA.
Roughly 8% of the human genome comes from retroviruses that integrated into our ancestors millions of years ago.
