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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

The recent update to South Africa’s health-research ethics guidelines on heritable human genome editing has ignited ...

Ancient viral remnants in the human genome are activated during pregnancy ... called reverse transcriptase, just like the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), to replicate themselves.

Mar. 16, 2023 — The human immunodeficiency virus HIV-1 is able to infect various tissues in humans. Once inside the cells, the virus integrates its genome into the cellular genome and ...

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.

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 ...
