Abstract excerpt
The palindromic nucleotide substitutions (PNS) in the 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of Pestivirus RNA have been described as a new, simple and practical method for genotyping. Given the genetic relatedness between Pestivirus and hepatitis C virus species, the application of the method was investigated preliminarily on 180 isolates, including reference strains. The keys for hepatitis C virus identification have...
