Phylogenetic Analysis of HIV-1 Genomes Based on the Position-Weighted K-mers Method

HIV-1 viruses, which are predominant in the family of HIV viruses, have strong pathogenicity and infectivity. They can evolve into many different variants in a very short time. In this study, we propose a new and effective alignment-free method for the phylogenetic analysis of HIV-1 viruses using co...
