Why are #MultipartiteViruses so widespread, given the apparent costs of this form of genome organization? @AsherLeeks @StuWest8 &co show that selection for cheats can drive the #evolution of multipartite #viruses under realistic conditions #PLOSBiology plos.io/3Lshrax
Cheating leads to the evolution of multipartite viruses
In multipartite viruses, the genome is split into multiple segments, each of which is transmitted via a separate capsid.plos.io
