title: Full-genome sequence of a hepatitis B virus genotype f1b clone from a chronically infected chilean patient.
abstract: The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus belonging to the Hepadnaviridae family. Viral isolates have been classified into 10 genotypes, named from A to J, and several subtypes. We report the full-genome sequence from a single molecular clone of HBV genotype F1b, amplified from a chronically infected Chilean patient.
