Deep dive into HIV’s hidden DNA finds that some people could eventually drop their drugs

This figure from the journal article shows how all the pieces of proviral DNA found in all six study participants' cells were distributed around the 23 pairs of chromosomes in the  cells' nuclei. The red lines are DNA that gave rise, at one or more time points, to viral RNA, and the blue lines are DNA that never did. It can be seen that RNA production was rare from DNA that was located outside active gene sites in the 'gene deserts'.
