Abstract excerpt
The human hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a satellite RNA virus that depends on hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface proteins (HBsAg) to assemble into infectious virions targeting the same organ (liver) as HBV. Until recently, the evolutionary origin of HDV remained largely unknown. The application of bioinformatics on whole sequence databases lead to discoveries of HDV-like agents (DLA) and shed light on HDV's...
