Abstract excerpt
Investigations of the K1 gene revealed six main genotypes clustered according to geography. Here, the global distribution and HHV8 genotyping using the K1 gene and two hypervariable regions (VR1 and VR2) were evaluated. We searched GenBank for 6,889 HHV8-K1 genes via various keywords, selecting sequences longer than 730 bp. Afterwards, the VR1 and VR2 regions were derived from the K1 genes, and genotyping of the...
