Abstract. The evolutionary patterns of hepatitis C virus (HCV), including the best-fitting nucleotide substitution model and the molecular clock hypothesis, were investigated by analyzing full-genome sequences available in the HCV database. The likelihood ratio test allowed us to discriminate among different evolutionary hypotheses. The phylogeny of the six major HCV types was accurately inferred, and the final tree was rooted by reconstructing the hypothetical HCV common ancestor with the… CONTINUE READING
