✦ Synopsis

We are researchers who have published analyses of nucleic acid sequence variation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and associated virological and clinical significance. We are concerned that our investigations are hampered by the lack of a consensus nomenclature for variants of HCV and that this leads to confusion when results from different laboratories are compared. Furthermore, because there are no consistently applied criteria by which new genotypes are defined, investigators assign new type descriptions to novel sequence variants on an ad hoc basis without agreement from

## Abstract Most patients with an acute infection of hepatitis C virus (HCV) will develop chronic hepatitis, and only about 15–20% of the cases will resolve spontaneously. The mechanism for the different outcomes in patients with acute HCV infection remains unclear. HCV genotype has been recognized

It i s difficult to name fossils which are intermediate between chronospecies or chronogenera in general paleontology. A possible solution is proposed for discussion: namely, to utilize bigeneTic nomina to designate a group of fossils which are intermediate between two consecutive genera, and bispec

The classical view of what constitutes an "allele" has been challenged by recent findings of a great deal of human genetic variability, i.e., we can expect, on average, one variant site every 100-250 bases of our haploid genome. The haplotype is defined as "the patterns of co-occurrence of variant s
