Abstract excerpt
The genomic cloning and sequence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) from an epidemic in North India is reported. We describe here a simple method wherein the viral RNA was reverse transcribed and then amplified in a single step using an extra long polymerase chain reaction procedure. The full genome nucleotide sequence of this HEV isolate (called Yam-67) was made up of 7191 nucleotides, excepting the poly(A) tail and had...
