Correlation between pre-treatment quasispecies complexity and treatment outcome in chronic HCV genotype 3a-1

In the TF group, 1 non-responder (NR2) and 1 relapser (R4). The vertical bars indicate the number and the proportion of viral variants within each sample. Within the vertical bars, each variant is represented by a different colour. The dominant viral strain found in each patient at Baseline is in pink colour. The other strains are represented by different colours. The same colour indicates identity between viral strain present at different time point but not between different patients. The black line indicates the quasispecies diversity calculated by the mean Hamming distance (HD) from each sample.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Correlation between pre-treatment quasispecies complexity and treatment outcome in chronic HCV genotype 3a"</p><p>http://www.virologyj.com/content/5/1/78</p><p>Virology Journal 2008;5():78-78.</p><p>Published online 9 Jul 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2483966.</p><p>
