Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Dried blood spot (DBS) testing enables hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing in hard‑to‑reach patient populations but typically lacks full genotype and drug resistance information. This study evaluates a commercially available hybrid‑capture whole‑genome sequencing (WGS) workflow for HCV from DBS to determine suitability for clinical diagnostic and surveillance purposes. METHODS: We analysed 147 DBS and 24...
