Abstract excerpt
Analysis of population-level polymorphism in eight coding genes of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtype B revealed evidence not only of past purifying selection, but also of abundant slightly deleterious nonsynonymous variants subject to ongoing purifying selection. Both CD4 and CTL epitopes showed an excess of nonsynonymous variants that were singletons (occurring in just one sequence) in our...
