Abstract excerpt
Segmentation of viral genomes provides the potential for genetic exchange within coinfected cells. However, for this potential to be realized, coinfecting genomes must mix during the viral life cycle. The efficiency of reassortment, in turn, dictates its potential to drive evolution. The opportunity for mixing within coinfected cells may vary greatly across virus families, such that the evolutionary implications...
