Amplicon names correspond to those in Figure 5.
Only RNA sequences between regions corresponding to primers Hfor and Mrev are shown.
Number of colonies, detected by bacterial colony PCR and via nucleotide sequencing of plasmids.
RNA regions originating from HIV-RNA are shown in red, from M2-RNA—in blue. Template-binding regions are underlined; sequences corresponding to primers are shown as [HFOR] and [MREV]. RNA nucleotides within bulge loops are not underlined, nucleotides in internal loops and mismatches are shown in italic. External insertions are highlighted with yellow.
