Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 pol nucleotide ambiguities encoding amino acid mixtures occur commonly during population-based genotypic drug resistance testing. However, few studies have addressed the validity of sequences with fully ambiguous codons (FACs) containing codons translatable to more than four amino acids. We identified 839 published HIV-1 pol sequences with 846 FACs at 131 positions and determined their distribution relative...
