High Rates of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Recombination: Near-Random Segregation of Markers One Kilobase Apart in One Round of Viral Replication
25 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
One of the genetic consequences of packaging two copies of full-length viral RNA into a single retroviral virion is frequent recombination during reverse transcription. Many of the currently circulating strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) are recombinants. Recombination can also accelerate the generation of multidrug-resistant HIV-1 and therefore presents challenges to effective antiviral...
