Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is genetically highly variable. This is attributed to the error-prone nature of HIV-1 replication and its proclivity for recombination. During replication and recombination, reverse transcriptase (RT) must polymerize DNA to the 5' ends of multiple RNA and DNA template termini while converting HIV-1 RNA to double-stranded DNA. We have determined the fidelity of HIV-1 RT...
