High-throughput identification of genetic interactions in HIV-1

Nature Genetics volume 43, pages 398–400 (2011)Cite this article

Subjects

A study characterizes the in vitro replicative capacity of over 70,000 clinical isolates of HIV-1 in the absence of drugs, or in the presence of one of 15 individual drugs. The largest survey of the effects of mutations on fitness undertaken in any organism, this study finds extensive pairwise interactions among over 1,800 variable sites identified through sequencing the protease and reverse transcriptase genes.
