Genetic diversity of Hepatitis C Virus in Pakistan using Next Generation Sequencing

Our findings clearly indicate that patient-2 greater quasispecies heterogeneity than other patients of same genotype-3a using phylogenetic and one step network analyses. Initially phylogenetic analysis of these three genes showed that genotype 3a samples have greater genetic diversity. However, no significant difference was determined when nucleotide variability of genotype 3a compared with other genotypes (1a, 1b, 2a & 4a).
