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.
