Abstract excerpt
To assess the molecular epidemiology of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), a screening method was developed for identification of non-B subtypes from sequence data obtained for resistance testing. The method is based on the evaluation of the percentage of divergence of a given sequence from the reference B subtype HXB2. Analysis of 1720 reverse-transcriptase (RT) and 1824 protease sequences stored in a...
