Abstract excerpt
BK virus (BKV) genotyping has been historically based on nucleotides 1744 to 1812 in the VP1 gene. We reevaluated this practice by making BKV whole-genome and gene-specific phylogenetic trees as well as performing single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis of 162 sequences available in the public domain. It was found that currently known BKV subtypes and subgroups can no longer be reliably determined by...
