The hepatitis B virus (HBV) infects approximately 290 million people globally, with chronic infection sustained by persistent viral gene expression. Recent single-cell analyses of HBV viral transcripts have uncovered novel features of HBV transcription and provided fresh insights into its regulation at the single-cell level. In this review, we summarize the latest advancements in understanding HBV viral transcription in individual hepatocytes and highlight emerging technologies that hold promise for future research.
