Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 must generate infectious virions to spread to new hosts and HIV-1 unspliced RNA (HIV-1 RNA) plays two central roles in this process. HIV-1 RNA serves as an mRNA that is translated to generate proteins essential for particle production and replication, and it is packaged into particles as the viral genome. HIV-1 uses several transcription start sites to generate multiple RNAs that differ by a few nucleotides...
