Trade-off between local replication and long-distance dissemination during experimental evolution of a satellite RNA

Satellite RNAs (satRNAs) are molecular parasites that depend on their non-homologous helper viruses (HVs) for essential biological functions. While there are multiple molecular and phylogenetic studies on satRNAs, there is no experimental evolution study on how satRNAs may evolve in common infection...
