Comparative Study of Methods for Detecting Sequence Compartmentalization in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1
12 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infects different organs and tissues. During these infection events, subpopulations of HIV type 1 (HIV-1) develop and, if viral trafficking is restricted between subpopulations, the viruses can follow independent evolutionary histories, i.e., become compartmentalized. This phenomenon is usually detected via comparative sequence analysis and has been reported for viruses isolated...
