Recombination is a common evolutionary tool for RNA viruses, including coronaviruses. This review examines the evidence for recombination in SARS-CoV-2 and addresses the naming of recombinants, their origin and fitness, and speculates on their potential impact on the future of the COVID-19 pandemics.
Recombination is a common evolutionary tool for RNA viruses, and coronaviruses are no exception. We review here the evidence for recombination in SARS-CoV-2 and reconcile nomenclature for recombinants, discuss their origin and fitness, and speculate how recombinants could make a difference in the future of the COVID-19 pandemics.
