Physical Principles of Retroviral integration in the human genome

Davide Michieletto (The University of Edinburgh, Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine)
Virtual

Certain retroviruses, including HIV, insert their DNA in a small and non-random fraction of the host genome. This selection happens via poorly understood mechanisms and…
