Characterisation of hepatitis C virus recombination in Cameroon using non-specific next generation sequencing.

The importance of recombination for the evolution and genetic diversity of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is currently uncertain. Only a small number of inter-genotypic recombinants have been so far identified, and each has core and envelope genes classified as genotype 2. Here we investigate two putat...
