Adaptive evolution by recombination is not associated with increased mutation rates in Maize streak virus

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Single-stranded (ss) DNA viruses in the family <it>Geminiviridae</it> are proving to be very useful in real-time evolution studies. The high mutation rate of geminiviruses and other ssDNA viruses is somewhat mysterious in...
