Extensive Homologous Recombination among Widely Divergent TT Viruses

Michael Worobey*

Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom

Received 29 December 1999/Accepted 24 May 2000

Analyses of a collection of full-length TT virus genomes showed nearly half of them to be recombinant. The results were highly significant and revealed homologous recombination both within and among genotypes, often involving extremely divergent lineages. Recombination breakpoints were significantly more common in the noncoding region of the TT virus genome than in the coding region.
