Abstract | The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Viral Infectivity Factor (Vif) is a 192-amino acid accessory protein essential to viral replication which counteracts host APOBEC3 proteins. APOBEC3 proteins interfere with the replication of HIV, hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B virus and retrotransposons. Vif is a recent candidate target for therapeutic and preventative interventions in HIV/AIDS yet little is known about its clinical relevance. We describe the results of applying different machine learning algorithms (Apriori, Multifactor Dimensionality Reductor, C4.5, Artificial Neural Networks and ID3) to the search of associations between HIV-1 Vif protein attributes and clinical endpoints. Final iterations showed that the presence of mutations in BC Boxes, APOBEC motifs and Cullin5 binding motifs were together associated with higher initial CD4 T cells while mutations of specific APOBEC motifs coupled with the conservation of other APOBEC motifs were associated with lower historic CD4 T cells. Conservation of specific APOBEC motifs and BC boxes were linked to lower initial viral loads while different combinations of mutations in the Nuclear Localisation Inhibition Signal and BC Boxes were associated with higher historic viral loads. Further scrutiny of these combinations through traditional statistical methods revealed striking differences in both CD4 T cells and viral loads in patients stratified into those having the previous combinations. While artificial intelligence algorithms do not phase out traditional statistical methods, our Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based approach highlights their use at reducing the dimensionality of large and complex datasets and at proposing novel, unimaginable, associations of biological patterns with functional relevance or clinical roles. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
