Abstract excerpt
Whether HIV-1 evolution in infected individuals is dominated by deterministic or stochastic effects remains unclear because current estimates of the effective population size of HIV-1 in vivo, N(e), are widely varying. Models assuming HIV-1 evolution to be neutral estimate N(e)~10²-10⁴, smaller t...
