Genomic differentiation among wild cyanophages despite widespread horizontal gene transfer

BACKGROUND: Genetic recombination is a driving force in genome evolution. Among viruses it has a dual role. For genomes with higher fitness, it maintains genome integrity in the face of high mutation rates. Conversely, for genomes with lower fitness, it provides immediate access to sequence space th...
