Evidence of recombination in the norovirus capsid gene.

Abstract excerpt

Noroviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses with high genomic variability. They have emerged in the last decade as a major cause of acute gastroenteritis. It remains so far unclear whether norovirus evolution is driven by sequence mutation and/or recombination. In this study, we have assessed the occurrence of recombination in the norovirus capsid gene. For this purpose, 69 complete capsid sequences of norovirus...
