1 Listing of up to two examples of each provisionally assigned HCV subtype prioritized according to (i) completeness (availability of complete or near complete core/E1 and NS5B sequences), (ii) publication date, (iii) GenBank submission date
2Accession numbers of sequences from the core/E1 and NS5B regions. “n.a.”: not available; “/”: denotes that the core/E1 or NS5B sequences are available from two different accession numbers
