Possible acquisition and molecular evolution of <i>vpu</i> genes inferred from comprehensive sequence analysis of human and simian immunodeficiency viruses
2024-04-04
Abstract excerpt
Vpu, an accessory protein of Human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1), plays a crucial role in viral particle production and release, contributing to HIV virulence and its associated pandemic. Despite its significance, the acquisition and evolution of the vpu gene remain poorly understood. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive computational analysis of approximately 38,000 sequences from Simian immunodefici...
