The hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype determines patient prognosis and duration of treatment, but sequencing of the gene is lengthy and labor-intensive. We used a commercially available nucleic acid extraction system to develop a single-tube extraction-to-sequencing (STETS) method for HCV genotyping.
