Besides evolving through nucleotide substitution, viruses frequently also evolve by genetic recombination which can occur when related viral variants co-infect the same cells. Viruses with segmented or multipartite genomes can additionally evolve via the reassortment of genomic components. Various computational techniques are now available for identifying and characterizing recombination and ...
