Abstract excerpt
The entire nucleotide sequence of a hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome (NZL1) of genotype V/3a was determined from overlapping cDNA clones obtained from a human carrier in New Zealand. It comprised 9425 nucleotides (nt) including a 5'-untranslated region of 339 nt, a single large open reading frame encoding a polyprotein of 3021 amino acids, a 3'-untranslated region of 23 nt, and 3'-terminal poly(U) stretches of...
