On the generation of the MSD-Ѱ class of defective HIV proviruses [PDF]
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) can effectively suppress ongoing HIV replication and block disease progression, but the infection is never cured due to the persistence of a small pool of latently infected cells hosting integrated replication-competent HIV ...

A systematic analysis of marine lysogens and proviruses
Viruses are ubiquitous in the oceans, exhibiting high abundance and diversity. Here, we systematically analyze existing genomic sequences of marine prokaryotes to compile a Marine Prokaryotic Genome Dataset (MPGD, consisting of over 12,000 bacterial and ...

Defective HIV-1 proviruses produce viral proteins [PDF]
Significance In HIV-infected patients on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), greater than 95% of proviruses in the peripheral blood are “defective.” Historically, these defective proviruses have been thought to be dead-end products with no real ...

Defective proviruses rapidly accumulate during acute HIV-1 infection [PDF]
Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) suppresses viral replication to clinically undetectable levels, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) persists in CD4+ T cells in a latent form that is not targeted by the immune system or by ART.

Latent replication-competent HIV-1 persists in individuals on long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART). We developed the Full-Length Individual Proviral Sequencing (FLIPS) assay to determine the distribution of latent replication-competent HIV-1 within ...

Structural rearrangements in the nucleus localize latent HIV proviruses to a perinucleolar compartment supportive of reactivation [PDF]
Significance Persistent viral reservoirs in memory T cells harbor latent replication-competent proviruses that can rebound after interruption of antiretroviral therapy.

Individual groups of retroviruses and retroviral vectors differ in their integration site preference and interaction with the host genome. Hence, immediately after infection genome-wide distribution of integrated proviruses is non-random.

The main barrier to HIV cure is the ability of a genetically diverse pool of proviruses, integrated into the genomes of infected CD4+ T cells, to persist despite long-term suppressive combination antiretroviral therapy (cART).

Amplification of Near Full-length HIV-1 Proviruses for Next-Generation Sequencing [PDF]
The Full-Length Individual Proviral Sequencing (FLIPS) assay is an efficient and high-throughput method designed to amplify and sequence single, near full-length (intact and defective), HIV-1 proviruses.

Within-Subtype HIV-1 Polymorphisms and Their Impacts on Intact Proviral DNA Assay (IPDA) for Viral Reservoir Quantification [PDF]
The Intact Proviral DNA Assay (IPDA) is widely used to quantify genome-intact HIV proviruses in people living with HIV, but viral sequence diversity has been observed to cause assay failures due to primer/probe mismatches.
