a
357 individual amplicons were analyzed. If an amplicon covered more than one region, it was counted in both regions it covered; therefore, row total adds up to 360.
b
Full refers to whether the full protein coding region is covered by the amplicon (i.e., entire NS3 region).
c
Partial refers to whether only a partial protein coding region is covered by the amplicon (i.e., only part of the NS3 region).
d
Multi‐genotypic refers to primers that were designed for one or more HCV genotypes. Abbreviation: Gt, genotype.
