Complete Genome Sequence of the WHO International Standard for HIV-2 RNA Determined by Deep Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: The World Health Organization (WHO) International Standard for HIV-2 RNA nucleic acid assays was characterized by complete genome deep sequencing. The entire coding sequence and flanking long terminal repeats (LTRs), including minority species, were assigned subtype A. This information will aid design, development, and evaluation of HIV-2 RNA amplification assays.
