Abstract excerpt
The initiation of drug therapy results in a reduction in the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) population, which represents a potential genetic bottleneck. The effect of this drug-induced genetic bottleneck on the population dynamics of the envelope (Env) regions has been addressed in several in vivo studies. However, it is difficult to investigate the effect on the env gene of the genetic bottleneck...
