Using the full genome sequences of SCMV and several recombination detection methods, in this study we report that recombination is the major driving force in the evolution and emergence of several new variants of SCMV. We reported eight highly significant (P < 0.001) recombination break points, majority of which are located within 6K1-VPg-NIaPro-NIb region, thus indicating a region for recombination hotspot. The observation of commonalities of same recombination events among the SCMV isolates between the countries (Spain and Mexico), and within the country (within China, and within Mexico), suggests common origin of the isolates in respective regions. publisher: Kluwer date: 2011 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/5434/1/Genomic%20evidence%20of%20intraspecific.pdf identifier: Padhi, Abinash and Ramu, Karri (2011) Genomic evidence of intraspecific recombination in sugarcane mosaic virus.
