C2, An Unusual Filamentous Bacterial Virus: Protein Sequence and Conformation, DNA Size and Conformation, and Nucleotide/Subunit Ratio
(1995)Inovirus C2 is 1295 nm long and 6.8 nm in diameter, and its mass is 24 million Da. Its genome is a topologically circular, single-stranded DNA molecule of 8100 nucleotides. The DNA is packed in the virion as two antiparallel ...

Evidence of two distinct subsubtypes within the HIV-1 subtype A radiation
(2001)Members of HIV-1 group M are responsible for the vast majority of AIDS cases worldwide and have been classified on the basis of their phylogenetic relationships into nine roughly equidistant clades, termed subtypes. Although ...

Genotyping HIV-1 and HCV strains by a combinatorial DNA melting assay (COMA)
(1998)Background: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) strains can be genetically classified into genetic lineages known as genetic types of subtypes according to phylogenetic analyses of ...

Global genetic variation of HIV-1 infection
(2006)Variability, both at the population (interhost) as well as at the individual (intrahost) level is a key property of HIV that stems mainly from the inherent infidelity of the reverse transcriptase enzyme that the virus uses ...

Re-analysis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 isolates from Cyprus and Greece, initially designated 'subtype I', reveals a unique complex A/G/H/K/? mosaic pattern
(2001)Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has been classified into three main groups and 11 distinct subtypes. Moreover, several circulating recombinant forms (CRFs) of HIV-1 have been recently documented to have spread ...
