Abstract excerpt
This report presents a molecular characterization of the complete genome of a rare hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype (GT5a) from India. Sequence homology of full genome revealed that the strain belonged to HCV GT5a. To trace the origin of this virus and to understand its evolutionary pattern, a phylogenetic reconstruction was carried out on full HCV genome sequences using Bayesian coalescent methods. The...
