A relatively consistent rate of evolutionary change in the virus.
What are the two characteristics that the molecular clock for HIV is based on?
- The existence of, and how to describe, a molecular clock in evolving HIV-1 populations, as well as the link between nucleotide changes and time.
- In order to achieve this, we looked at a special collection of samples for which the evolutionary history is completely known.
- This allowed us to directly correlate the genetic distances between the samples' separation times.
- The study's findings could lead to two significant conclusions.
- First, we demonstrate how the idea of a molecular clock is compatible with the evolution of HIV-1.
- Second, we show that there is a large genetic distance at a time of no divergence; this conclusion is dependent on the pretransmission delay.
- A relatively consistent rate of evolutionary change in the virus
- Multiple samples of the virus taken in different years
- RNA nucleotide sequence data from the virus
- None of the listed responses are correct.
