GAG MUTATIONS STRONGLY CONTRIBUTE TO HIV-1 RESISTANCE TO PROTEASE INHIBITORS IN HIGHLY DRUG-EXPERIENCED PATIENTS BESIDES COMPENSATING FOR FITNESS LOSS.

Gag mutations strongly contribute to HIV-1 resistance to protease inhibitors in highly drug-experienced patients besides compensating for fitness loss.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) resistance to protease inhibitors (PI) results from mutations in the viral protease (PR) that reduce PI binding but also decrease viral replicative capacity (RC).Additional mutations compensating for the RC loss subsequently accumulate within PR and in Gag substrate cleavage sites.We examined the respecti

Locational diversity of alpha satellite DNA and intergeneric hybridization aspects in the Nomascus and Hylobates genera of small apes.

Recently, we discovered that alpha satellite DNA has unique and genus-specific localizations on the chromosomes of small apes.This study describes the details of alpha satellite localization in the genera Nomascus and Hylobates and explores their usefulness in distinguishing parental genome sets in hybrids between these genera.Fluorescence in situ
