Abstract:In previous work, we used a comprehensive sliding-window molecular clock analysis of near full length HIV-1 genomes to find that different regions of the virus genome yield significantly different estimates of the time to the most recent common ancestor. This finding, together with other evidence of the deep recombinant history of SIV and HIV, is not consistent with the standard model of the evolutionary history of HIV-1/M where non-recombinant subtypes are globally distributed through founder effects, followe… Show more
