Fig. 1.

Experimental MSV recombination patterns. The consensus recombinant solution (the parent from which >50 % of sites are derived), the conserved solution (the parent from which 100 % of sites are derived) and wild-type MSV genomes (MSV-MatA and MSV-VW) are shown for comparative purposes. Short vertical lines above or below the centre line denote VWMPCPMat- and MatMPCPVW-derived polymorphisms, respectively. Red and blue, respectively, indicate MSV-MatA- and MSV-VW-derived sequences. Long vertical lines represent point mutations. Positions of genes (mp, cp and repA+repB), intergenic regions (LIR and SIR) and the v-ori (circle) are indicated in shaded grey.
