Tracing the epidemic history of HIV-1 CRF01_AE clusters using near-complete genome sequences

Abstract Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has a number of circulating recombinant forms that are the product of recombination between different HIV subtypes. The first circulating recombinant form of HIV-1 to be identified was CRF01_AE, which originated in Central Africa and is now most prevalent...
