The search for retroviruses in human cancer cells has advanced with the discoveries of the retroviral reverse transcriptase, DNA hybridization and sequencing techniques, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology. Each technological advancement has led to a better refinement and a better understanding of latent endogenous retroviruses in the human genome. With the recent developments in the Human Genome Project it is to be expected that additional information will be obtained on the role and function of these human retroviruses, their ancestral origin and, if possible, their involvement as a source for emerging new retroviruses.
随着逆转录病毒逆转录酶、DNA杂交和测序技术以及聚合酶链反应（PCR）技术的发现，在人类癌细胞中寻找逆转录病毒的研究取得了进展。每一项技术进步都使人们对人类基因组中潜伏的内源性逆转录病毒有了更好的细化和理解。随着人类基因组计划的最新进展，可以预期将获得更多关于这些人类逆转录病毒的作用和功能、它们的祖先起源，以及如果可能的话，它们作为新兴新逆转录病毒来源的参与情况的信息。
