Abstract excerpt
With the aim of elucidating the evolution of a hepadnavirus family, we constructed molecular phylogenetic trees for 27 strains of hepatitis B virus (HBV) using both the unweighted pair-grouping and neighbor-joining methods. All five gene regions, P, C, S, X, and preS, were used to construct the phylogenetic trees. Using the phylogenetic trees obtained, we classified these strains into five major groups in which...
