High concordance between the position-specific scoring matrix and geno2pheno algorithms for genotypic interpretation of HIV-1 tropism: V3 length as the major cause of disagreementEduardo Seclen
Department of Infectious Diseases, Hospital Carlos III, Madrid, Spain
J Clin Microbiol 49:3380-2. 2011..Disagreement was found mostly in specimens with short V3 lengths (<35 amino acids). Thus, consideration of V3 lengths should improve the predictability of HIV-1 tropism using genotypic algorithms...
