Mapping of positive selection sites in the HIV-1 genome in the context of RNA and protein structural constraints

Mapping of positive selection sites in the HIV-1 genome in the context of RNA and protein structural constraints

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The HIV-1 genome is subject to pressures that target the virus resulting in escape and adaptation. On the other hand, there is a requirement for sequence conservation because of functional and structural constraints. Mapping the site...
