Comparison of Quasispecies Diversity of HCV between Chronic Hepatitis C and Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Ultradeep Pyrosequencing
Figure 3
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) quasispecies diversity in the patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and those with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) caused by HCV infection. (a) HCV quasispecies diversity of each nucleotide position in patients with CHC; (b) HCV quasispecies diversity of each amino acid position in patients with CHC; (c) HCV quasispecies diversity of each nucleotide position in patients with HCC caused by HCV infection; (d) HCV quasispecies diversity of each amino acid position in patients with HCC caused by HCV infection. HVR: hypervariable region; AA: amino acid.
