Abstract excerpt
We performed an evolutionary analysis using whole genome sequence isolates of hepatitis C virus (HCV) 6a from Guangdong Province and reference sequences from various countries. Less than 5% of the HCV genome was found to be under positive selection. The E1 and E2 proteins had the highest proportion of positively selected sites both within and outside of CD8 T cell epitopes in all of the strains. Regions...
