  "summary": "Recombination can generate genetic diversity among RNA viruses; yet, mechanisms governing recombination for segmented, double-stranded RNA viruses remain poorly understood. Reovirus genomes contain ten segments of double-stranded RNA. Previous analyses suggested low rates of reovirus RNA recombination and led to a proposed mechanism of recombination during minus-strand synthesis. These analyses…",
