OBJECTIVE: To determine the complete nucleotide sequence of a Chinese hepatitis B virus (HBV) strain of genotype D. METHOD: The complete nucleotide sequence of HBV derived from a Chinese chronic asymptomatic carrier was amplified by PCR and cloned to conduct sequence analysis. Homology of the resulted nucleotide sequence with those of published HBV strains was assessed by using DNASIS, and complete sequence analysis of the phylogenetic tree of 30 genotype D HBV strains conducted by the assistance of Clustalw.
