Genomic correlates of HTLV-1 proviral targeting, clonal expansion and proviral expression.

<p>(A) Factors associated with the presence or absence of spontaneous Tax expression by a given cell after short-term (18 h) in vitro incubation. (B) Features of the genomic environment of the provirus associated either with initial integration (left panel), or clonal expansion in vivo (right panel). Findings were made in the present study unless otherwise stated. TSS – transcription start site. TFBS – transcription factor binding site.
