Abstract excerpt
The intrahost hepatitis B virus (HBV) genomic evolution process of an HBe antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic HBV patient (designated RI) was studied. Two nearly full-length direct sequences obtained in 1995 (RI95) and 1998 (RI98) showed: (a) a mutation rate of 2.7x10(-3) nucleotides per site per year; (b) nucleotide changes mainly located at single coding regions (P=0.002); (c) mixed populations; and (d) a...
