Near full-length HIV type 1M genomic sequences from Cameroon
BACKGROUND Cameroon is the country in which HIV-1 group M (HIV-1M) likely originated and is today a major hotspot of HIV-1M genetic diversity. It remains unclear, however, whether the highly divergent HIV-1M lineages found in this country arose during the earliest phases of the global HIV-1M epidemic, or whether they arose more recently as a result of recombination events between globally circu...
متن کاملAmong 46 near full length HIV type 1 genome sequences from Rakai District, Uganda, subtype D and AD recombinants predominate.
The impact of HIV-1 genetic diversity on candidate vaccines is uncertain. To minimize genetic diversity in the evaluation of HIV-1 vaccines, vaccine products must be matched to the predominant subtype in a vaccine cohort. To that end, full genome sequencing was used to detect and characterize HIV-1 subtypes and recombinant strains from individuals in Rakai District, Uganda. DNA extracted from p...
متن کاملDesigning a soluble near full-length HIV-1 gp41 trimer.
The HIV-1 envelope spike is a trimer of heterodimers composed of an external glycoprotein gp120 and a transmembrane glycoprotein gp41. gp120 initiates virus entry by binding to host receptors, whereas gp41 mediates fusion between viral and host membranes. Although the basic pathway of HIV-1 entry has been extensively studied, the detailed mechanism is still poorly understood. Design of gp41 rec...
متن کاملA Web Tool to Discover Full-Length Sequences - Full-Lengther
Many Expressed Sequence Tags (EST) sequencing projects produce thousands of sequences that must be cleaned and annotated. Here it is presented Full-Lengther, an algorithm that can find out full-length cDNA sequences from EST data. To accomplish this task, Full-Lenther is based on a BLAST report using a protein database such as UniProt. Blast alignments will guide to locate protein coding region...
متن کاملNear-full-length genome sequencing of divergent African HIV type 1 subtype F viruses leads to the identification of a new HIV type 1 subtype designated K.
We recently reported a high divergence among African subtype F strains. Three well-separated groups (F1, F2, and F3) have been shown based on the phylogenetic analysis of the p24 gag and envelope sequences with genetic distances similar to those observed for known subtypes. In this study, we characterized the near-full-length genomes of two strains from epidemiological unlinked individual belon...
