A small set of succinct signature patterns distinguishes Chinese and non-Chinese HIV-1 genomes.

The epidemiology of HIV-1 in China has unique features that may have led to unique viral strains. We therefore tested the hypothesis that it is possible to find distinctive patterns in HIV-1 genomes sampled in China. Using a rule inference algorithm we could indeed extract from sequences of the thir...
