Article Abstract
RNA viruses provide prominent examples of measurably evolving populations. In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, the development of drug resistance is of particular interest because precise predictions of the outcome of this evolutionary process are a prerequisite for the rational design of antiretroviral treatment protocols. We present a mutagenetic tree hidden Markov model for the analysis of longitudinal clonal sequence data. Using HIV mutation data from clinical trials, we estimate the order and rate of occurrence of seven amino acid changes that are associated with resistance to the reverse transcriptase inhibitor efavirenz.

HOXD9 is a representative HOX-family transcription factor that binds specific promoters to determine the somite differentiation. Aberrations in HOXD9 expression are associated with diseases like tumorigenesis and metastasis. Currently, an atomic-level understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying the target-searching dynamics of HOXD9 along DNA remains elusive, and the key regulatory motifs that dictate the HOXD9 diffusion along DNA and HOXD9-DNA interplays are also unknown.

Gloeobacter violaceus is an ancient cyanobacterium as it branches out from the basal position in the phylogenic tree of cyanobacteria. It lacks thylakoid membranes and its unique bundle-shaped type of phycobilisomes (PBS) for light harvesting in photosynthesis are located on the interior side of cytoplasmic membranes. The PBS from G.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can develop resistance to all antiretroviral drugs. Multidrug resistance, however, is a rare event in modern HIV treatment, but can be life-threatening, particular in patients with very long therapy histories and in areas with limited access to novel drugs. To understand the evolution of multidrug resistance, we analyzed the EuResist database to uncover the accumulation of mutations over time.

Background: For the expression of late viral genes, HIV-1 efficiently exploits the nuclear export by using Rev viral protein, which specifically binds the RNA Rev Responsive Element (RRE). This region is contained within the gp120-gp41 encoding sequence. Enfuvirtide is the first approved HIV-1 fusion-inhibitor, and gp41 codons associated with primary enfuvirtide-resistance (amino-acids 36-45) are localized within the RRE structure.

In genetics, many evolutionary pathways can be modeled by the ordered accumulation of permanent changes. Mixture models of mutagenetic trees have been used to describe disease progression in cancer and in HIV. In cancer, progression is modeled by the accumulation of chromosomal gains and losses in tumor cells; in HIV, the accumulation of drug resistance-associated mutations in the viral genome is known to be associated with disease progression.
