Abstract excerpt
Genetic recombination between viral genomes has been shown to contribute to the generation of genetic diversity during retrovirus infections. The role of recombination in the development of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) zidovudine resistance was investigated as a possible cause of the formation of the linked Leu-41/Tyr-215 resistance genotype. Zidovudine resistance is conferred by the presence of...
