Niman - thank you!!! This site - "recombinomics" - is a gold mine of a find. I did not know about it, although mutation or 'recombination' is a big component of my research and a common theme in almost everything I write here on ats.


Great work.

It looks like all viruses evolve via recombination. In flu the "point mutations" are largely just recycled polymorphisms.

Viruses are the ultimate recyclers. The spend most of their time just copying and pasting. If it works, why fix it? They just move pieces of genes around.

Emergence and evolution are driven by dual infections by diverse genotypes.

Niman - I would appreciate your comments on another of my threads -

The discussion between myself and engineer has to do with interkingdom cross-over, my main example is bacteria/plants with separate reference to prions.

Thnx.
