Abstract

Recombination is a major mechanism that generates variation in populations of human immunodeficiency type 1 (HIV-1). Mutations often confer replication advantages, such as drug resistance, which can lead to increased pathogenicity. This project is the first phase of a larger projected intended to study the effects of follicular dentritic cells (FDCs) on recombination rates.
