Abstract
A recent report has provided information that helps to determine the age of a common viral ancestor of the AIDS epidemic. Korber et al . examine the strengths as well as limitations of molecular clock analysis and the implications of the findings for planning vaccines and forecasting the future of the epidemic.Keywords
