A novel chimpanzee-derived adenovirus, a recombinant of Mastadenovirus exoticum and Mastadenovirus blackbeardi members, reveals lineage-specific recombination hotspots in simian adenoviruses.

Abstract excerpt

Adenoviruses are genetically diverse, non-enveloped double-stranded DNA viruses that infect a wide range of vertebrate hosts, including humans and non-human primates. Simian adenoviruses are of particular evolutionary relevance because of their close relationship with human adenoviruses, the cross-species exchanges documented between the two, and the recombination events that influence their genomic diversity....
