A scale-free analysis of the HIV-1 genome demonstrates multiple conserved regions of structural and functional importance.
HIV-1 replicates via a low-fidelity polymerase with a high mutation rate; strong conservation of individual nucleotides is highly indicative of the presence of critical structural or functional properties. Identifying such conservation can reveal novel insights into viral behaviour. We analysed 3651...
