Abstract excerpt
Epstein Barr virus (EBV) has a large DNA genome assumed to be stable, but also subject to mutational processes such as nucleotide substitution and recombination, the latter explored to a lesser extent. Moreover, differences in the extent of recombination events across herpes sub-families were recently reported. Given the relevance of recombination in viral evolution and its possible impact in pathogenesis, we...
