Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: To define V3 genetic elements and structural features underlying different HIV-1 co-receptor usage in vivo. RESULTS: By probabilistically modeling mutations in the viruses isolated from HIV-1 B subtype patients, we present a unique statistical procedure that would first identify V3 determinants associated with the usage of different co-receptors cooperatively or independently, and then delineate the...
