Prediction of drug resistance acquisition with more and less effective treatments.

Among patients treated with more effective treatments (top), we predict HIV populations to have a lower probability of acquiring resistance per generation. As a result, the population must wait a …

Effect of multiple DRMs on sequence diversity separated by subtype.

Average diversity level of sequences are plotted conditioned on number of fixed drug resistance mutations present separately by all the subtypes with more than 100 associated HIV populations. Means ± SE are plotted among all the D-PCR dataset.
