HIV-1 Integration in the Human Genome Favors Active Genes and Local Hotspots

TLDR
Global analysis of cellular transcription indicated that active genes were preferential integration targets, particularly genes that were activated in cells after infection by HIV-1, and this data suggests how selective targeting promotes aggressive HIV replication.

Gene transfer by lentiviral vectors is limited by nuclear translocation and rescued by HIV-1 pol sequences.

TL;DR: The results indicate that nuclear translocation of the genome is a rate-limiting step in lentiviral infection of both dividing and non-dividing cells, and that it depends on protein and nucleic acid sequence determinants.
