Genome Announc. 2016 Mar 31;4(2):e00187-16. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00187-16.

Abstract

Hepatitis B virus infection is currently a global public health problem. Here, we present the first characterization and complete genome sequence of a strain belonging to genotype E in Mexico, obtained from a foreign carrier with chronic infection.
