Annotation of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) genome. The HIV-1 antisense RNA transcriptional start site occurs in the Nef region. The putative protein, the antisense protein (ASP), is translated near the 5′ region of the antisense transcript, corresponding to the Env region in the HIV-1 genome. This figure was adapted from Saayman et al. (2014) [10] and Cassan et al. (2016) [37].
