Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the process, viruses leave behind remnants throughout the genetic material ...

Paul Sharp and colleagues from the University of Nottingham Queens Medical Centre in England compared full-length genome sequences of chimpanzee HIV strains with inferred ancestral sequences for three ...

Scientists extracted a near-complete HIV-1 genome from a lymph node that had been preserved in wax for more than 50 years. The sample stands as the oldest HIV-1 genome yet recovered, predating the ...

HIV-1 particles are released from infected cells ... scientists have explored the structural changes of the virus capsid ...

Schematic representation of HIV-1 genome organization. The three coding reading frames are depicted along with their open reading frames (rectangles). Genome position is numbered according to HXB2 ...

Wesley Sundquist, a biochemist at University of Utah, and Tomas Cihlar, a virologist at Gilead, a biopharmaceutical company, have labored for more than a dozen years to turn one antiviral treatment, ...

We identify individuals with acute HIV infection. We screen them twice ... high-throughput machines in the country to enable human genome sequencing. Partnership with the MGI, to have their ...

Sundquist laid the groundwork in studying one of HIV’s proteins, the capsid, which creates a protective shell around the virus’ genome; Cihlar visited his labs and was impressed enough to take ...
