Insertions and deletions in the hypervariable region of the hepatitis E virus genome in individuals with acute and chronic infection

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

These findings suggest that the nucleotide composition of insertions and sites for post-translational modification may contribute to recombination events. Although the impact of low-level hepatitis E virus variants is uncertain, our results highlight the importance of a highly sensitive next-generation sequencing approach to capture the full diversity of hypervariable region.
