title: HIV-1: packaging a shifty genome?
abstract: In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Chamanian et al. (2013) show that the frameshifting region in the HIV-1 genome influences the efficiency of genome packaging. This study may provide insights into mechanisms that constrain retroviruses into packaging only two copies of the genome during retroviral assembly.
