Metagenomics reshapes the concepts of RNA virus evolution by revealing extensive horizontal virus transfer.

Abstract excerpt

Virus metagenomics is a young research filed but it has already transformed our understanding of virus diversity and evolution, and illuminated at a new level the connections between virus evolution and the evolution and ecology of the hosts. In this review article, we examine the new picture of the evolution of RNA viruses, the dominant component of the eukaryotic virome, that is emerging from metagenomic data...
