Reliability of rapid subtyping tools compared to that of phylogenetic analysis for characterization of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 non-B subtypes and recombinant forms.

Abstract excerpt

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtyping is often estimated on the basis of pol sequences by using online websites instead of phylogenetic analysis (phy). We evaluated the reliability of distinct rapid subtyping tools versus phy with a large panel of HIV-1 non-B subtypes and circulating recombinant forms (CRF). pol sequences (277 protease [PR] and 171 reverse transcriptase [RT] sequences) previously...
