Abstract excerpt
Single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis is a useful tool for studying viral quasispecies. Four regions within the HIV-1 genome were studied by means of SSCP analysis with the aim of determining which regions were the most informative for the study of HIV-1 transmission or for dete...
