In silico analysis of human herpes virus-8 genome: a comparison of the K1, VR1, and VR2 regions for genotyping and global geographical distribution

Abstract Investigations of the K1 gene revealed six main genotypes clustered according to geography. Here, the global distribution and HHV8 genotyping using the K1 gene and two hypervariable regions (VR1 and VR2) were evaluated. We searched GenBank for 6,889 HHV8-K1 genes via various keywords, selec...
