Abstract excerpt
The replicon system, which mimics viral genome replication in culture cells, has been widely used to analyze the genome replication of the hepatitis C virus (HCV). However, most HCV genomes used in the system include adaptive mutations (AMs) that are vital for replication in culture cells despite the nonexistence of such mutations in the genome of wild-type (WT) HCV in patients. In order to study the genome...
