Next-Generation Sequencing Methods to Determine the Accuracy of Retroviral Reverse Transcriptases: Advantages and Limitations

Retroviruses, like other RNA viruses, mutate at very high rates and exist as genetically heterogeneous populations. The error-prone activity of viral reverse transcriptase (RT) is largely responsible for the observed variability, most notably in HIV-1. In addition, RTs are widely used in biotechnolo...
