Abstract:
During a recent study on the sequencing data of our database between 2012 and 2016 in Southwestern France, we observed that eight patients harbored what seemed to be the same virus. Indeed, routine genotyping at the time of HIV diagnosis showed that protease and reverse transcriptase were related to CRF06_cpx and subtype B, respectively. The integrase sequences (available for three patients) were clustering with CRF06_cpx and envelope (Env) gp120 sequences (available for two patients) with subtype B. Since such a recombinant has not been recorded in the Los Alamos database, we decided to characterize the full-length genome of this virus. The data suggest the identification of a new circulating recombinant form (CRF) between CRF06_cpx and subtype B, the structure of which is very complex with multiple breakpoints. We will refer this CRF as CRF98_cpx.

Coronary Circulation
Coronary circulation begins at the base of the aorta, where two main arteries arise—the left and right coronary arteries. These arteries encircle the heart in the coronary sulcus and supply the...
Fetal Circulation
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
