Abstract
There are two major reasons to study recombination. The first is that it is biologically interesting. For example, different strains of viruses often recombine to form new strains of recombinants leading to host-jumping or resistance to antiviral medicine, posing direct threat to our health. The second reason is that recombination is the source of many evils in comparative genomics and molecular evolution as it can generate rate variation among sites and among lineages and distort phylogenetic relationships (Lemey and Posada 2009). We may be led astray without controlling for the effect of recombination in comparative genomic analysis.KeywordsInformative SiteParental SequenceInfinite Allele ModelLower TriangleCompatibility MatrixThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
