Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The outcome of antiretroviral combination therapy depends on many factors involving host, virus, and drugs. We investigate prediction of treatment response from the applied drug combination and the genetic constellation of the virus population at baseline. The virus's evolutionary potential for escaping from drug pressure is explored as an additional predictor. METHODS: We compare different encodings...
