Evolution of genome size and complexity in the rhabdoviridae.

Evolution of genome size and complexity in the rhabdoviridae.

RNA viruses exhibit substantial structural, ecological and genomic diversity. However, genome size in RNA viruses is likely limited by a high mutation rate, resulting in the evolution of various mechanisms to increase complexity while minimising genome expansion. Here we conduct a large-scale analys...
