Trajectories and Drivers of Genome Evolution in Surface-Associated Marine Phaeobacter.

abstract：:RNA recombination is a major driving force for the evolution of RNA viruses and is significantly implicated in the adaptation of viruses to new hosts, changes of virulence, as well as in the emergence of new viruses including drug-resistant and escape mutants. However, the molecular details of recombination in animal ...

One emerging view of this process is that such mechanisms may only evolve in male-heterogametic (XY) s...
