Novel Genetic Rearrangements Termed “Structural Variation Polymorphisms“ Contribute to the Genetic Diversity of Orthohepadnaviruses

The genetic diversity of orthohepadnaviruses is not yet fully understood. This study was conducted to investigate the role of structural variations (SVs) in their diversity. Genetic sequences of orthohepadnaviruses were retrieved from databases. The positions of sequence gaps were investigated, sinc...
