A Model of Non-Homologous Recombination Mediated by HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase Explaining Sequence Motif Duplications That Confer a Replication Fitness Advantage
2025-03-25
Abstract excerpt
The Reverse Transcriptase of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is distinguished for its high rate of homologous recombination. A less-studied consequence of this phenomenon is the increased occurrence of non-homologous recombination, which results in length polymorphism. While most of these genome-wide variations are sporadic, some provide a replication advantage to variant strains, such as those in the Long...
