Abstract excerpt
The analysis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) mutations is important for understanding HBV progression and for deciding on appropriate clinical treatments. However, it is difficult to determine the quantitative abundance of various mutants in heterogeneous mixtures by conventional methods such as direct sequencing or the TaqMan assay. In this study, we investigated the possibility of using both allele-specific...
