Abstract excerpt
Sequence heterogeneity is a feature of hepatitis B virus (HBV), the prototype member of the family Hepadnaviridae. Based on an intergroup divergence of greater than 7.5% across the complete genome, HBV has been classified phylogenetically into 9 genotypes, A-I, with a putative 10th genotype 'J', isolated from a single individual. With between approximately 4 and 8% intergroup nucleotide divergence across the...
