Deep sequencing of HIV-1 envelope determines coreceptor usage and predicts virologic responses to antiretroviral treatment with CCR5 antagonist medication

Next-generation sequencing can be used to genotype an array of HIV variants within clinical specimens, in a process referred to as deep sequencing. When directed at the gene for HIV envelope, this approach can be used to generate a high-sensitivity overview of the viral tropism of the HIV quasispeci...
