O-20 MOLECULAR AND BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF HEPATITIS B VIRUS SUBGENOTYPE F1B CLUSTERS: UNRAVELING ITS ROLE IN HEPATOCARCINOGENESIS

O-20 MOLECULAR AND BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF HEPATITIS B VIRUS SUBGENOTYPE F1b CLUSTERS: UNRAVELING ITS ROLE IN HEPATOCARCINOGENESIS

Introduction and Objectives: Hepatitis B virus subgenotype F1b infection has been associated with the early occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma in chronically infected patients from Alaska and Peru.In Argentina, however, despite the high prevalence of subgenotype F1b infection, this relationship has not been described.This study aimed to unravel

To what extent do human-altered landscapes retain population connectivity? Historical changes in gene flow of wetland fish Pungitius pungitius

Understanding how human-altered landscapes affect population connectivity is valuable for conservation planning.Natural connectivity among wetlands, which is maintained by floods, is disappearing owing to farmland expansion.Using genetic data, we assessed historical changes in the population connectivity of the ninespine stickleback within a human-
