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...
