Hepatitis C Virus
Research reports on hepatitis C virus from University of Valencia provide new insights
September 23rd, 2008
According to a study from Valencia, Spain, "Hepatitis C virus isolates have been classified into six main genotypes and a variable number of subtypes within each genotype, mainly based on phylogenetic analysis. Analyses of the genetic relationship among genotypes and subtypes are more reliable when complete genome sequences ( or at least the full coding region) are used; however, so far 31 of 80 confirmed or proposed subtypes have at least one complete genome available." "Of these, 20 correspond to confirmed subtypes of epidemic interest. We present and analyse the first complete genome sequence of a HCV subtype Ig isolate. Phylogenetic and genetic distance analyses...
