Abstract excerpt
We have sequenced the complete genome of a hepatitis B virus (HBV) strain that was transmitted from a gibbon with chronic hepatitis B to a chimpanzee that subsequently developed acute hepatitis B. The genome was 3,182 nucleotides long and had a genetic organization identical to and including the characteristics of other mammalian hepadnaviruses. Thus, the regulatory elements, the direct repeats, and the four open...
