Phylogenetic analysis reveals a low rate of homologous recombination in negative-sense RNA viruses
18 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Recombination is increasingly seen as an important means of shaping genetic diversity in RNA viruses. However, observed recombination frequencies vary widely among those viruses studied to date, with only sporadic occurrences reported in RNA viruses with negative-sense genomes. To determine the extent of homologous recombination in negative-sense RNA viruses, phylogenetic analyses of 79 gene sequence alignments...
