Quantifying the diversification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) during primary infection: estimates of the in vivo mutation rate.

Quantifying the diversification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) during primary infection: estimates of the in vivo mutation rate.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is present in the host with multiple variants generated by its error prone RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Little is known about the initial viral diversification and the viral life cycle processes that influence diversity. We studied the diversification of HCV during acute inf...
