<h4>Motivation</h4>To define V3 genetic elements and structural features underlying different HIV-1 co-receptor usage in vivo.<h4>Results</h4>By probabilistically modeling mutations in the viruses isolated from HIV-1 B subtype patients, we present a unique statistical procedure that would first identify V3 determinants associated with the usage of different co-receptors cooperatively or independently, and then delineate the complicated interactions among mutations functioning cooperatively. We b ...[more]
