Bioinformatic analysis of the variability of Tax1 and Tax2 proteins of the human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV)

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Motivation</h4> The pathological differentiation in humans between HTLV-1 and HTLV-2 viruses is due, among other parameters, to the variability in a viral protein, Tax (Tax1 and Tax2 respectively), with the second virus being a candidate to interfere with HIV-1 infection, which has allowed us to assess the importance of further investigating Tax. <h4>Results</h4> Both the degree of conservation and the genom...
