Evidence for a Complex Mosaic Genome Pattern in a Full-length Hepatitis C Virus Sequence

The genome of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) exhibits a high genetic variability. This remarkable heterogeneity is mainly attributed to the gradual accumulation of mutational changes, whereas the contribution of recombination events to the evolution of HCV remains controversial so far. While performing...
