Abstract excerpt
Natural selection on polymorphic protein-coding loci of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), the more geographically widespread of the two viruses causing human acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), was studied by estimating the rates of nucleotide substitution per site in comparisons among alleles classified in families of related alleles on the basis of a phylogenetic analysis. In the case of gag, pol,...
