Enhanced HPV16 Diversity Suspected of Protecting Against Cervical Cancer

Sep 07, 2017

|

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Variation in the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) genome appears to be linked to forms of the virus that are less likely to lead to cervical cancer or precancerous conditions, according to a study published online today in Cell.
