Thus, our LRP protocol could be applied for the amplification of other difficult RNA templates and may facilitate RNA virus research such as linked viral mutations and reverse genetics. In some experiments, we mixed a RT enzyme with Pfu DNA polymerase (Stratagene), a similar strategy as used in long PCR, to improve full-length cDNA synthesis [8] . A representative neighbor-joining (NJ) tree constructed based on HCV E1 domain of 20 clones derived from 9.1 kb LRP product, which was amplified using mixed serum from samples LIV19 and LIV23. A refined long RT-PCR technique to amplify complete viral RNA genome sequences from clinical samples: Application to a novel hepatitis C virus variant of genotype 6 ./cache/cord-323963-whv88ggl.txt ./txt/cord-323963-whv88ggl.txt
