Viruses are potential vectors for horizontal gene transfer. Here, studying viral infection of sugar beet plants, the authors report the generation of virus-host circular DNA hybrids and provide a picture of the initial steps in virus-mediated horizontal transfer of chromosomal DNA between plant spec...
