Abstract excerpt
Introduction. Recombination is a mechanism that prevents the accumulation of noxious mutations. Recombination occurs between different sublineages of the same virus that are co-circulating and co-infecting the same host. Next-generation sequencing technologies have allowed the identification of recombinant sublineages of omicron. Objective. To describe how viral recombination in new omicron lineages has conferred...
