Genome Sequence of the Hepatitis C Virus Subtype 6n Isolated from Malaysia
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the full genome sequence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) subtype 6n from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Phylogenetic analysis of the isolate 10MYKJ032 suggests that Southeast Asia might be the origin for the HCV subtype 6n and highlights the possible spread of this lineage from Southeast Asia to other regions.

Hepatitis C virus complete genome sequences identified from China representing subtypes 6k and 6n and a novel, as yet unassigned subtype within genotype 6.
Here, the complete genome sequences for three hepatitis C virus (HCV) variants identified from China and belonging to genotype 6 are reported: km41, km42 and gz52557. Their entire genome lengths were 9430, 9441 and 9448 nt, respectively; the 5' untranslated regions (UTRs) contained 341, 342 and 339 nt, followed by single open reading frames of 9045, 9045 and 9057 nt, respectively; the 3' UTRs, ...
متن کاملMolecular Epidemiology of Torque Teno Virus (TTV) Isolated from in Healthy and Subjects with Chronic Hepatitis B and C in Jahrom City of Iran
Background and Aims: Torque teno virus (TTV) is a DNA virus that isolated from the serum of a Japanese patient without A-G transfusion-transmitted hepatitis and other etiology. TTV is detectable in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells, different body fluids and secretions such as stools, saliva, semen, vaginal fluid. The genome exhibits high diversity that has enabled the determination...
متن کاملSequence Analysis and Phylogenetic Study of Hemagglutinin Gene of H9N2 Subtype of Avian Influenza Virus Isolated during 1998-2002 in Iran
Sequence analysis and phylogenetic study of hemagglutinin (HA) gene of H9N2 subtype of avian influenza virus isolates (outbreaks of 1998-2002) in Tehran province (Iran) were studied. Two sets of forward and reverse primers in highly conserved regions, based on sequences of HA gene in Genbank, were designed. PCR products of a 430-bp fragment of 16 isolates were sequenced and then were aligned wi...

متن کاملThree type 6 hepatitis C virus subgroups among blood donors in the Yangon area of Myanmar are identified as subtypes 6m and 6n, and a novel subtype by sequence analysis of the core region.
Previously, using phylogenetic analysis of NS5b sequences, we found that three type 6 variant subgroups (M6-1, M6-2 and M6-3) exist in Myanmar. According to the new nomenclature of hepatitis C, M6-1 and M6-2 belong to subtypes 6m and 6n, respectively, but M6-3 is unassigned. In this study, we sequenced and phylogenetically analyzed the core region of these type 6 variant subgroups. Serum sample...
