Novel subgenotypes of hepatitis B virus genotypes C and D in Papua, Indonesia.

abstract：:Sequencing-based pathogen identification directly from clinical specimens requires time-consuming interpretation, especially with mixed chromatograms when multiple microorganisms are detected. We assessed RipSeq Mixed software for human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping by comparison to the linear array HPV genotyping a...
