Abstract excerpt
The present work aimed at establishing a platform to enable frequent characterization of the HCV RNA-dependent-RNA-polymerase from Egyptian clinical isolates. Subjecting amplified HCV-NS5B coding gene from Egyptian patient's serum to sequencing, multiple alignment, and phylogenetic analysis confirmed its subtype 4a origin. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed presence of an additional start codon at the...
