Genetic continuity in the last seven Millennia in human hepatitis B viruses
2018-08-31
Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major human pathogen and yet the evolution history of HBV has largely remained uncertain. With a better theoretical understanding of genetic diversity, we here used a new method to examine the previously published ancient and present day HBV genomes. We identified an informative region in the HBV polymerase that is slow evolving and used it to study genetic distances among HBVs. Three...
