Physical principles of retroviral integration in the human genome

Certain retroviruses, including HIV, insert their DNA in a non-random fraction of the host genome via poorly understood selection mechanisms. Here, we develop a biophysical model for retroviral integration as stochastic and quasi-equilibrium topological reconnections between polymers. We discover th...
