Molecular Mechanisms of Recombination Restriction in the Envelope Gene of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus
7 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
The ability of pathogens to escape the host's immune response is crucial for the establishment of persistent infections and can influence virulence. Recombination has been observed to contribute to this process by generating novel genetic variants. Although distinctive recombination patterns have been described in many viral pathogens, little is known about the influence of biases in the recombination process...
