High Rate of Recombination throughout the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Genome
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
The diploid nature of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) indicates that recombination serves a central function in virus replication and evolution. Previously, while examining the nature of obligatory primer strand transfers during reverse transcription, a high rate of recombination was observed at the ends of the viral genome within the viral long terminal repeats, prompting the following question: does...
