Extensive ITR expansion of the 2022 Mpox virus genome through gene duplication and gene loss [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Poxviruses are known to evolve slower than RNA viruses with only 1–2 mutations/genome/year. Rather than single mutations, rearrangements such as gene gain and loss, which have been discussed as a possible driver for host adaption, were described in ...
