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 ...

RecA-independent recombination events between short direct repeats, leading to deletion of the intervening sequences, were found to occur in two genetic models in the Escherichia coli K12 background. The first model was ...

Recombination is a significant factor driving genomic evolution, but it is not well understood in Dengue virus. We used phylogenetic methods to search for recombination in 636 Dengue virus type 3 (DENV-3) genomes and ...

The structure and evolution of angiosperm mitochondrial genomes are driven by extremely high rates of recombination and rearrangement. An excellent experimental system for studying these events is offered by cybrid plants, ...

Bovine alphaherpesviruses 1 and 5 (BoHV-1 and BoHV-5) are closely related viruses that co-circulate in South America and recombine in the field. The complete genomes of three natural gB gene recombinant viruses between ...

Multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae emerge through the modification of core genome loci by interspecies homologous recombinations, and acquisition of gene cassettes. Both occurred in the otherwise contrasting ...
