Abstract excerpt
Recombination contributes substantially to the overall genetic complexity of HIV-1, especially in populations in which multiple subtypes circulate. Yunnan is a province in China with most severely HIV epidemic where many subtypes and CRFs of HIV-1 are circulating. In this study, we report a novel HIV-1 recombination involving C and CRF01_AE. The near full-length genome was reverse transcripted and amplified in...
