Abstract excerpt
Direct sequencing and reverse hybridization are currently the main methods for detecting drug-resistance mutations of hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, these methods do not enable haplotype analysis so they cannot be used to determine whether the mutations are co-located on the same viral genome. This limits the accurate identification of viral mutants that are resistant to drugs with a high genetic barrier. In...
