Abstract excerpt
Retroviruses mutate at a high rate in vivo during viral replication. Mutations may occur during proviral transcription by RNA polymerase II, during minus-strand DNA synthesis (RNA template) by viral reverse transcriptase, or during plus-strand DNA synthesis (DNA template) by reverse transcriptase. To determine the contributions of different stages of replication to the retroviral mutation rates, we developed a...
