Abstract excerpt
The right terminal domain of genomic hepatitis delta virus (HDV) RNA is involved in viral replication by recruiting host RNA polymerase II. To identify conserved features of this region, we performed high-throughput 454 sequencing of an HDV population actively replicating in cells. We generated 473,139 sequences representing 2351 new HDV variants of this region and investigated nucleotide conservation and...
