RDP3 is a new version of the RDP program for characterizing recombination events in DNA-
sequence alignments. Among other novelties, this version includes four new recombination …

Viruses may very well be the most abundant biological entities on the planet. Yet neither
metagenomic studies nor classical phage isolation techniques have shed much light on the …

Wide spread incidences of vaccine-like strains of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) have
recently been reported in a Russian region with a neighboring country that actively …
