Hypermutated proviruses, which arise in a single Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) replication cycle when host antiviral APOBEC3 proteins introduce extensive guanine to adenine mutations throughout the viral genome, persist in all people living with HIV receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, hypermutated sequences are routinely excluded from phylogenetic trees because their extensive mutations complicate phylogenetic inference, and as a result, we know relatively little about their within-host evolutionary origins and dynamics. Using >1400 longitudinal single-genome-amplified HIV sequences isolated from six women over a median of 18 years of follow-up-including plasma HIV RNA sequences collected over a median of 9 years between seroconversion and ART initiation, and >500 proviruses isolated over a median of 9 years on ART-we evaluated three approaches for masking hypermutation in nucleotide alignments.

Hypermutated proviruses, which arise in a single HIV replication cycle when host antiviral APOBEC3 proteins introduce extensive G-to-A mutations throughout the viral genome, persist in all people living with HIV receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). But, the within-host evolutionary origins of hypermutated sequences are incompletely understood because phylogenetic inference algorithms, which assume that mutations gradually accumulate over generations, incorrectly reconstruct their ancestor-descendant relationships. Using > 1400 longitudinal single-genome-amplified HIV sequences isolated from six women over a median 18 years of follow-up - including plasma HIV RNA sequences collected over a median 9 years between seroconversion and ART initiation, and > 500 proviruses isolated over a median 9 years on ART - we evaluated three approaches for removing hypermutation from nucleotide alignments.
