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 ...
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 ...
An immune response that likely evolved to help fight infections appears to be the mechanism that drives human ...
“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 ...
He Jiankui caused outrage earlier this week when he told a genome summit he had altered the genes of twin baby girls so they could not contract HIV. His statement has not been confirmed ...
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 ...
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 ...
