A Simple and Cost-Effective DNA Preparation Method Suitable for High-Throughput PCR Quantification of Hepatitis B Virus Genomes

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a para-retrovirus that reverse transcribes its pregenomic RNA into relaxed circular DNA inside viral nucleocapsids. The number of HBV genomes produced in vitro is typically quantified using commercial silica-membrane-based nucleic acid purification kits to isolate total DN...
