Abstract excerpt
Rotavirus is a genetically diverse pathogen with an eleven-segmented, double-stranded RNA genome. Intrasegmental recombination has been proposed as a potential mechanism to generate antigenic diversity and a possible route of escape from vaccine-imposed selective pressure. Here intrasegmental recombination was studied by performing a genome-wide scan across the eleven genome segments of 797 publically available...
