Abstract excerpt
We have determined the nucleotide sequence of the 5' noncoding (NC) region of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome in 44 isolates from around the world. We have identified several HCV isolates with significantly greater sequence heterogeneity than reported previously within the 5' NC region. The most distantly related isolates were only 90.1% identical. Nucleotide insertions were seen in three isolates. Analysis of...
