Genomics and biology come together to fight HIV

PLoS Biol. 2008 Mar 25;6(3):e76. doi: 10.1371/journal.pbio.0060076.

Abstract

Large-scale association studies can identify the gene variants underlying common disease susceptibilities, but discovering how these variants produce the disease traits requires innovative biology, sadly lacking in most studies.
