Hepatitis B virus shows instantaneous and high rate mutations in biological experiments, some sorts of which affect the efficiency of virus replication greatly through enhancing or depressing the viral replication, while others have no influence at all. Taking advantage of prominent features of cellular automata, we simulate the effect of hepatitis B virus gene mutation on its replication efficiency. The computer simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of our novel model by comparing with the results of biological experiments.
