While direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) have dramatically progressed, patients still suffer from treatment failures. For the radical eradication of HCV, a deeper understanding of multiple resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) at the single-clone level is essential. To understand HCV quasispecies and their dynamics during DAA treatment, we applied single-molecule real-time (SMRT) deep sequencing on sera from 12 patients with genotype-1b HCV infections with DAA treatment failures, both pre- and post-treatment. We identified >3.2 kbp sequences between NS3 and NS5A genes of 187,539 clones in total, classifying into haplotype codes based on the linkage of seven RAS loci. The number of haplotype codes during the treatment, per sample, significantly decreased from 14.67 +/- 9.12 to 6.58 +/- 7.1, while the number of nonsynonymous codons on the seven RAS loci, per clone, significantly increased from 1.50 +/- 0.92 to 3.64 +/- 0.75. In five cases, the minority multi-drug resistant haplotypes at pre-treatment were identical to the major haplotypes at relapse. Moreover, various structural variations (SVs) were detected and their dynamics analysed. These results suggest that SMRT deep sequencing is useful for detecting minority haplotypes and SVs, and to evaluate the dynamics of viral genomes at the single-clone level.
