Abstract excerpt
Background: The enhanced sensitivity of next-generation sequencing (NGS) for assessing hepatitis B virus (HBV) quasispecies heterogeneity over clone-based sequencing (CBS) is well documented. However, its comparative reliability for genotype determination remains an open question. Objective: This study aimed to directly compare the performance of NGS and CBS for genotyping HBV using the entire viral genome....
