Abstract excerpt
Integration of the reverse-transcribed genome is a critical step of the retroviral life cycle. Strand-transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) used for antiretroviral therapy inhibit integration but can lead to resistance mutations in the integrase gene, the enzyme involved in this reaction. A significant proportion of INSTI treatment failures, particularly those with second-generation INSTIs, show no mutation in the...
