DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2019.06.152
Abstract: Reverse transcription of retroviral RNA is accomplished through a minus-strand strong stop cDNA (-sscDNA) synthesis and subsequent strand-transfer reactions. We have previously reported a critical role of guanosine (G) number at 5'-terminal of HIV-1 RNA… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-14135-z
Abstract: To generate the long-terminal repeats (LTR) that border the integrated viral genome, two-strand transfer steps must occur during reverse transcription. Analysis of the genetic polymorphisms that are present in the LTR of HIV-1 heterozygous virions… read more here.
