Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo identify the HBV genotype-specific tag sequence.
METHODSThe large S region sequences from 930 HBV genomes were aligned to identify the genotype-specific tag sequences. PCR was used to check the genotyping effect of these tags.
RESULTSTwo tag sequences, sequence between 149-169 and sequence between 461-483, were identified in the large S region. Using primers specific to these tag sequences, the genotype of HBV can be specifically identified.
CONCLUSIONThese tag sequences can be used for HBV genotyping.
