In silico Recombination Analysis: A Study for Geminivirus Host Mobility
A. Marwal, R. Prajapat, A. Sahu and R.K. Gaur

Abstract: Recombination plays a key role in the evolution of geminiviruses and may be contributing to the emergence of new strains/species. The high frequency of mixed infections of begomoviruses in different host allows the emergence of new viruses arising from recombination among species. With the development of computational recombination detection tools and an increasing number of available genome sequences, many studies have reported evidence of recombination in a wide range of Geminiviridae genera. The in silico analysis suggested that interspecific recombination has resulted significant diversity among geminiviruses and emergence of new geminivirus diseases.
