Physical principles of retroviral integration in the human genome
Some retroviruses, including HIV, insert their DNA in a non-random manner in the host genome through a poorly understood selection mechanism. Here the authors develop a biophysical model of retroviral integration, identifying previously unnoticed universal principles that regulate this phenomenon.
