1 HIV Life Cycle & enetics! etroviruses (and transposable elements) appear to be part of every cell's genome! From bacteria to yeast, flies, fish, and humans! ome endogenous retroviruses (most notably in mice and chickens) can be activated to replicate and induce tumors! The great majority of sequences in eukaryotic genomes that are related to retroviruses seem innocuous! Composition of the human genome:! % LT elements! % etrotransposons! 7% Human endogenous human retroviruses (HV)! HV-K! ~0 full-length proviruses (at least are intact)! 0-50 partial! ~000 solo LTs!.5% Unique coding sequences!!"#$%&%'"("%)*($#+%#!,-.*/0*&*($.*&(04&/"#4"&4*45("-*&0&$-*%)*&%*//! 6$-7/*&#)("-&9:&;<=&7*-04*! >$/0$! =)&"&%*//?/"(&/*.*/@&(*)(0.$(?#*#&%"-&(0?%*! *(#$#)*-)&$-*%+0-!

HIV- is less easily transmitted, and the period between initial infection and illness is longer Worldwide, the predominant virus is HIV-, with HIV- type concentrated in West frica and rarely elsewhere Based on genetic similarities, the numerous virus strains may be classified into types, groups and subtypes. The strains of HIV- can be classified into three groups: the "major" group M, the "outlier" group O and the "new" group N. These three groups represent three separate introductions of simian immunodeficiency virus (from chimps..?) into humans. roup O appears to be restricted to west-central frica and group N - discovered in 99 in Cameroon - is extremely rare. Within group M there are known to be at least nine genetically distinct subtypes (or clades) of HIV-. These are subtypes, B, C,, (), F,, H, and K.
