Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes chronic infection in up to 50% to 80% of infected individuals. Hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) variability is frequently studied to gain an insight into the mechanisms of HCV adaptation during chronic infection, but the changes to and persistence of HCV subpopulations during intrahost evolution are poorly understood. In this study, we used ultradeep pyrosequencing (UDPS)...
