Upon the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in the human population, it was conjectured that for
this coronavirus the dynamic intra-host heterogeneity typical of RNA viruses would be toned …

RNA recombination is a major driver of genetic shifts tightly linked to the evolution of RNA
viruses. Genomic recombination contributes substantially to the emergence of new viral …

High-throughput genomics of SARS-CoV-2 is essential to characterize virus evolution and to
identify adaptations that affect pathogenicity or transmission. While single-nucleotide …

Viral recombination contributes to the emergence of novel strains with the potential for
altered host range, transmissibility, virulence, and immune evasion. For foot-and-mouth …

Recombination and mutation of viral genomes represent major mechanisms for viral
evolution and, in many cases, moderate pathogenicity. Segmented genome viruses …

Codon deoptimization (CD) has been recently used as a possible strategy to derive foot-and-
mouth disease (FMD) live-attenuated vaccine (LAV) candidates containing DIVA markers …

J. Han of our minireview on SARS-CoV-2 quasispecies recently published in the Journal of
Virology (1). Qu and colleagues disagree with one of our assertions about viral quasispecies …

Insertions and deletions (InDels) are essential sources of novelty in protein evolution. In
RNA viruses, InDels cause dramatic phenotypic changes contributing to the emergence of …

The TRS-mediated discontinuous transcription process is a hallmark of Arteriviruses.
Precise assessment of the intricate subgenomic RNA (sg mRNA) populations is required to …

As an emerging virus, Senecavirus A (SVA) induces the vesicular disease in pigs. Clinical
cases initially show mild signs characterized by lethargy and lameness, usually followed by …
