The Nature of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Strand Transfers
1 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
The diploid nature of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) suggests that recombination serves a central function in virus replication and evolution. A system was developed to examine HIV-1 strand transfers, including the obligatory DNA primer strand transfers as well as recombinational crossovers during reverse transcription. Sequence heterogeneity between different strains of HIV-1 was exploited for...
