In-Host Flat-like Quasispecies: Characterization Methods and Clinical Implications
The repeated failure to treat patients chronically infected with hepatitis E (HEV) and C (HCV) viruses, despite the absence of resistance-associated substitutions (RAS), particularly in response to prolonged treatments with the mutagenic agents of HEV ...

Declaring the existence of human germ‐cell mutagens
After more than 80 years of searching for human germ‐cell mutagens, I think that sufficient evidence already exists for a number of agents to be so considered, and definitive confirmation seems imminent due to the application of recently developed ...
