Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype and subtype (1a/1b) identification is needed to tailor anti-HCV therapy. Currently available methods accurately identify the genotype and differentiate subtypes 1a from 1b. However, these assays have not been designed to identify other HCV subtypes, nor to recognize mixed genotype/subtype infections, emphasizing the need for a high-resolution system based on phylogenetic analysis...
