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.

Abstract: Nearly 30% of human proteins have tandem repeating sequences. Structural understanding of the terminal repeats is well-established for many repeat proteins with the common α-helix and β-sheet foldings. By contrast, the sequence–structure interplay of the… read more here.

Abstract: HIV-1 subtype C (HIV-1C) is responsible for the majority of infections in sub-Saharan Africa. We selected 63 plasma-derived samples and generated long terminal repeats (LTRs) amplicons from people living with HIV in South Africa to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-018-4563-7
Abstract: BackgroundMany studies have shown that guanine-rich DNA sequences form quadruplex structures (G4) in vitro but there is scarce evidence of guanine quadruplexes in vivo. The majority of potential quadruplex-forming sequences (PQS) are located in transposable… read more here.
