To be or not to be a virus: A novel chimeric circular Rep-encoding single stranded DNA virus with interfamilial gene exchange illustrates the considerable evolutionary capacity of ssDNA viruses.

To be or not to be a virus: A novel chimeric circular Rep-encoding single stranded DNA virus with interfamilial gene exchange illustrates the considerable evolutionary capacity of ssDNA viruses.

Viruses in the family Geminiviridae cause significant economic losses in numerous crops worldwide. Some geminiviruses are often associated with satellite DNA molecules, such as alphasatellites (familly Alphasatellitidae), that require the assistance of a helper virus for their transmission. Here, we...
