Additional Glycosylation Within a Specific Hypervariable Region of Subtype 3a of Hepatitis C Virus Protects Against Virus Neutralization

Background. The envelope glycoprotein E2 of hepatitis C virus (HCV) contains several hypervariable regions. Interestingly, 2 regions of intragenotypic hypervariability within E2 have been described as ...

Powerful Species-Level Identification and Quantification by Weighted Analysis of All, Rather Than One, 16S Hypervariable Regions

MVRSION is a bench and informatic system which employs simultaneous weighted analysis eight of nine 16S hyper variable regions. We use Fluidigm Juno to amplify and index these regions in up to 192 ...
