The polymerase in its labyrinth: mechanisms and implications of RNA recombination

T C Jarvis et al. Trends Genet. 1991 Jun.

Abstract

The wide variety of RNA viruses, and the diseases associated with them, may result in part from the capacity of RNA genomes to evolve through genetic recombination. Here we address the mechanism of RNA recombination, and ask questions about its prevalence and purpose in nature.
