Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV), a single-stranded RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae, has a wide range of genetic heterogeneity: 6-11 genotypes (or 6 clades) have been known and each genotype comprises multiple subtypes. Here we report the entire nucleotide sequence of an HCV isolate from a patient in Moldova with chronic hepatitis (isolate name VAT96). The genetic organization of VAT96 was, from 5' to 3' ends, 5'UTR...
