Transmissibility of intra-host hepatitis C virus variants

Intra-host hepatitis C virus (HCV) populations are genetically heterogeneous and organized in subpopulations. With the exception of blood transfusions, transmission of HCV occurs via a small number of genetic ...

A divide-and-conquer algorithm for large-scale de novo transcriptome assembly through combining small assemblies from existing algorithms

While the continued development of high-throughput sequencing has facilitated studies of entire transcriptomes in non-model organisms, the incorporation of an increasing amount of RNA-Seq libraries has made de no...

Inference of genetic relatedness between viral quasispecies from sequencing data

RNA viruses such as HCV and HIV mutate at extremely high rates, and as a result, they exist in infected hosts as populations of genetically related variants. Recent advances in sequencing technologies make pos...
