Abstract excerpt
The generation of biologically active proviral DNA clones of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) that give rise to infectious virions has allowed the detailed examination of genetic variation in experimentally inoculated monkeys. Studies of nucleotide sequences derived directly from circulating leukocytes of infected monkeys show that the SIV genome undergoes rapid and dramatic variation during the course of...
