Abstract excerpt
Sanger population sequencing (SPS) is the reference technique to monitor HIV-1-infected patients' therapy. Ultra-deep sequencing (UDS), which allows quantitative detection of drug resistance mutations, may be an alternative method. The study aimed to compare reproducibility and predictions of UDS versus SPS in a routine setting. A control containing low-abundance variants was repeatedly tested and clinical plasma...
