Universal primers for HBV genome DNA amplification across subtypes: a case study for designing more effective viral primers

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The highly heterogenic characteristic of viruses is the major obstacle to efficient DNA amplification. Taking advantage of the large number of virus DNA sequences in public databases to select conserved sites for primer design is an...
