Abstract excerpt
Mutants in the basal core promoter (BCP) and precore (PC) regions of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome are associated with the progression of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. However, quasispecies characteristics of naturally occurring mutants in those regions in HBeAg-positive CHB patients has not been well described, partly limited by quantitative assay. This study aimed to develop an Ion Torrent deep...
