RDP3: a flexible and fast computer program for analyzing recombination
TL;DR: RDP3 is a new version of the RDP program for characterizing recombination events in DNA-sequence alignments that includes four new recombination analysis methods, new tests for recombination hot-spots, and a range of matrix methods for visualizing over-all patterns of recombination within datasets and recombination-aware ancestral sequence reconstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results suggest that the first TYLCVs most probably arose somewhere in the Middle East between the 1930s and 1950s and that the global spread only began in the 1980s after the evolution of the TYLCV-Mld and -IL strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Widely Conserved Recombination Patterns among Single-Stranded DNA Viruses
TL;DR: Combinatorial nature of genetic recombination can potentially provide organisms with immediate access to many more positions in sequence space than can be reached by mutation alone, which implies that natural selection acting against viruses expressing recombinant proteins is a major determinant of nonrandom recombination breakpoint distributions observable in most ssDNA virus families.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied Bayesian phylogeographic inference and recombination analyses to available tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) sequences and reconstructed a plausible history of TYLCV's diversification and movements throughout the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombination in eukaryotic single stranded DNA viruses.
Darren P. Martin,Philippe Biagini,Pierre Lefeuvre,Michael Golden,Philippe Roumagnac,Arvind Varsani +5 more
TL;DR: The ecological, biochemical and selective factors underlying patterns of genetic exchange detectable amongst the ssDNA viruses are discussed and how these should all be considered when assessing the adaptive value of recombination during ssDNA virus evolution is discussed.
