Abstract excerpt
RNA viruses are well known for the enormous genetic variation. Retroviruses share this feature with other RNA viruses, and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has been extensively investigated in this regard. Based on the DNA sequence analysis, HIV-1 has been classified into three groups; M, N, and O, with viral subtypes in each group. While the genetic variation between viral isolates has been documented...
