Abstract excerpt

A population genetic model is developed and then applied to the synonymous gene sequence variation observed in samples of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). The samples, which were taken from several previous studies, contain sequences of the envelope glycoprotein gene (gp 120) of H...
