RECall for automated genotypic tropism testing

Abstract

Standardization of sequence chromatogram analysis is required for consistent genotypic tropism determination across laboratories. A freely available, fast, and automated chromatogram analysis tool (RECall) provided tropism interpretations equivalent to those of manual sequence editing of 521 V3 loop HIV-1 population sequences, suggesting that RECall can be useful in standardizing genotypic tropism testing across laboratories.
