Sequencing individual HIV-proviruses and their adjacent cellular junctions can elucidate mechanisms of infected cell persistence in vivo. Here, we present a high throughput microfluidic method to sequence entire proviruses in their native integration site context. We used the method to analyze infected cells from people with HIV on suppressive antiretroviral therapy, demonstrating >90% capture and sequencing of paired proviral genomes and integration sites. This method should enable comprehensive genetic analysis of persistent HIV-infected cell reservoirs, providing important insights into the barriers to HIV cure.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
