Abstract excerpt

We previously sequenced the 5' noncoding region of 44 isolates of hepatitis C virus (HCV), as well as the envelope 1 (E1) gene of 51 HCV isolates, and provided evidence for the existence of at least 6 major genetic groups consisting of at least 12 minor genotypes of HCV (i.e., genotypes I/1a, II/...
