Abstract excerpt
HIV viruses are usually genetically homogeneous shortly after infection, and become more heterogeneous over time. We developed a high-resolution melting (HRM) assay to analyze HIV diversity without sequencing. Plasma samples from the HIVNET 012 trial were obtained from nine Ugandan mother-infant pairs. DNA amplified from the HIV gag region was analyzed to determine the number of degrees over which the DNA melted...
