Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Recombination: Rate, Fidelity, and Putative Hot Spots
19 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
Previously, we reported that human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) recombines approximately two to three times per genome per replication cycle, an extremely high rate of recombination given the relatively small genome size of HIV-1. However, a recombination hot spot involving sequence of nonretroviral origin was identified in the vector system utilized, raising the possibility that this hot spot skewed the...
