Antigen receptor genes are assembled by a sequence of lineage-specific recombinatorial events, in which DNA breaks must be properly repaired to ensure cell survival and further developmental ...

An analysis of millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes finds that recombination of the virus is uncommon, but when it occurs, it is most often in the spike protein region, the area which allows the virus to ...

The emergence of the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spawned interest in the role of recombination in the evolution of this new virus as well as other human ...

In a recent study posted to Research Square*, researchers compared the genomic sequence of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and that of different coronaviruses (CoVs). Study: ...
