Single-stranded DNA multipartite viruses, which mostly consist of members of the genus
Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae, and all members of the family Nanoviridae, partly …

Several key evolutionary events marked the evolution of geminiviruses, culminating with the
emergence of divided (bipartite) genomes represented by viruses classified in the genus …

Genetic recombination is an important process during the evolution of many virus species
and occurs particularly frequently amongst begomoviruses in the single stranded DNA virus …

Species of the genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae) found in the western hemisphere
typically have a bipartite genome that consists of two 2· 6 kb DNA genomic components …

With the development of reliable recombination detection tools and an increasing number of
available genome sequences, many studies have reported evidence of recombination in a …

Although single stranded (ss) DNA viruses that infect humans and their domesticated
animals do not generally cause major diseases, the arthropod borne ssDNA viruses of …

Background Viruses of the genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae) have genomes
consisting of either one or two genomic components. The component of bipartite …

In RNA viruses, which have high mutation—and fast evolutionary—rates, gene overlapping
(ie, genomic regions that encode more than one protein) is a major factor controlling …

Recombination has an evident impact on virus evolution and emergence of new pathotypes,
and has generated an immense literature. However, the distribution of phenotypic effects …

Approximately half of the characterized begomoviruses have bipartite genomes, but the
second genomic segment, the DNA-B, is understudied relative to the DNA-A, which is …
