Abstract excerpt
Retrovirus particles each contain two copies of the viral genome in the form of a noncovalently linked RNA dimer. Earlier studies have mapped a cis-acting region near the 5' end of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) genome, termed the psi locus, which appears essential for initiation of genomic dimerization, as well as for interactions with the HIV-1 Gag protein that are thought to target the RNA...
