Abstract excerpt
Little is known regarding the likelihood of recombination between any given pair of nonidentical HIV-1 viruses in vivo. The present study analyzes the HIV-1 quasispecies in the C1C2 region of env, the vif-vpr-vpu accessory gene region, and the reverse transcriptase region of pol. These sequences were amplified from samples obtained sequentially over a 12- to 33-month period from five dually HIV-1-infected...
