2b or not 2b: experimental evolution of functional exogenous sequences in a plant RNA virus

Willemsen, Anouk; Zwart, Mark Peter; Ambros Palaguerri, Silvia; Carrasco Jiménez, José Luis; Elena Fito, Santiago Fco (Oxford University Press, 2017)

[EN] Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is pervasive in viruses and thought to be a key mechanism in their evolution. On the other hand, strong selective constraints against increasing genome size are an impediment for HGT, ...
Going, going, gone: predicting the fate of genomic insertions in plant RNA viruses

Willemsen, A.; Carrasco Jiménez, José Luis; Elena Fito, Santiago Fco.; Zwart, Mark Peter (Nature Publishing Group, 2018)

[EN] Horizontal gene transfer is common among viruses, while they also have highly compact genomes and tend to lose artificial genomic insertions rapidly. Understanding the stability of genomic insertions in viral genomes ...
High virulence does not necessarily impede viral adaptation to a new host: a case study using a plant RNA virus

Willemsen, Anouk; Zwart, Mark Peter; Elena Fito, Santiago Fco. (Springer (Biomed Central Ltd.), 2017)

[EN] Background: Theory suggests that high virulence could hinder between-host transmission of microparasites, and that virulence therefore will evolve to lower levels. Alternatively, highly virulent microparasites could ...
