Inferring HIV transmission dynamics from phylogenetic sequence relationships

PLoS Med. 2008 Mar 18;5(3):e69. doi: 10.1371/journal.pmed.0050069.

Abstract

New insights into HIV transmission dynamics, say the authors, are likely to come from analyzing the viral sequence information that is being routinely collected during HIV genotyping.
