Abstract excerpt
One of the most studied topics about AIDS disease is the presence of different progression levels in patients infected by HIV. Several studies have shown that this progression is directly associated with host genetics, although viral factors are also known to play a role. Here we explore the contribution of Vpu protein in the evolution of viral population. The sequence variation of Vpu was analyzed during HIV...
