Hepatitis B virus infections can progress from an acute ... % base pairing to form an unbranched rod-like structure. The genome sequence shows no homology to the 3300-nucleotide genome of a ...

can be made with safety only by sequencing the precore region of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome, a method not widely available. However, in clinical practice, hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg ...

So how, then, do researchers determine the sequence of A's, G's, C's, and T's that comprise the genome? The answer is that they've had to develop a new process, what Bruce Birren of MIT's ...

HBV DNA integration was present in 2 children (1.9%). PCR in the Southern blot negative tissue specimens confirmed the presence of viral sequences in all HBeAg and in 63% of anti-HBc positive cases.

the ARCUS nuclease specifically cuts a highly conserved sequence in the hepatitis B viral genome and is designed to eliminate cccDNA and inactivate integrated HBV genomes. The ARCUS platform is ...
