title: Full-length genomic sequence of a hepatitis C virus genotype 2c isolate (BEBE1) and the 2c-specific PCR primers.
abstract: We sequenced the entire genome of an Italian isolate of hepatitis C virus: the first full-length sequence for the genotype 2c. We report hereby its characteristics and differential detection of 2c isolates using PCR.
