Exchanges of genomic domains between poliovirus and other cocirculating species C enteroviruses reveal a high degree of plasticity.

abstract：:Conserving crop wild relatives (CWR) is critical for maintaining food security. However, CWR-focused conservation plans are lacking, and are often based on the entire genus, even though only a few taxa are useful for crop improvement. We used taxonomic and geographic prioritisation to identify the best locations for i...
