Abstract excerpt
Occasionally direct sequencing of amplified hepatitis B virus DNA leads to weak signals on autoradiograms. Using amplified C-gene sequences we investigated whether this is due to sequence heterogeneity of virus populations and use of inappropriate primers for direct sequencing. High C-gene sequence heterogeneity (point mutations, stop codons and a one codon deletion) was observed in HBV genomes from serum of a...
