Abstract excerpt
Sequence variation in the type 1 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) results, in part, from inaccurate replication by reverse transcriptase. Although this enzyme is error-prone during synthesis in vitro with DNA templates, the fidelity of RNA-dependent DNA synthesis relevant to minus-strand replication in the virus life cycle has not been examined extensively. In the present study, we have developed a system to...
