Computational analysis of the variations in the HIV-1 genome sequence that correlate with preferential binding to the CCR5 (C-C-motif receptor 5) or CXCR4 (C-X-C motif receptor 4) coreceptors in ...

An immune response that likely evolved to help fight infections appears to be the mechanism that drives human ...

Scientists at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), an autonomous institution under the ...

The new research, published in Science Advances, shows that uncoating could be a natural process of mechanical pressure building up and causing the protein shell that surrounds the HIV genome to ...

What about viruses? Would you consider them living or nonliving? Let’s look closely at the life cycle of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) – the virus that causes AIDS – to find out. This ...

“The HIV Host Genome project was started at the same time as we launched SAMRC’s African Genomics Centre in Cape Town with the support from MGI,” said project co-investigator Rizwana ...

The aim: to use whole genome sequencing to identify and understand the polymorphism and mutations within individuals of African descent and how they relate to HIV. “We screen participants by ...

HIV drug susceptibility tests can evaluate either the genotype or phenotype of the predominant viral quasispecies. The HIV genotype refers to the actual DNA sequence of the virus; the phenotype ...

South Africa's HIV Host Genome Project seeks to unlock the genetic factors that enable a rare group of HIV-positive individuals, known as "elite controllers," to naturally suppress the virus ...

Speaking at a genome summit in Hong Kong, He Jiankui said he was "proud" of altering the genes of twin girls so they could not contract HIV. His work, which he announced earlier this week ...

A recent change to South Africa’s national health research guidelines contains newly added language that appears to permit the use of genome editing to create genetically modified children.
