Figure 1

Homologous recombination between two strains. Recombination between two strains (strain 1, blue, and strain 2, red), shown as two cross-over events, is considered to be confined within recombining groups (here group1 and group2). Each box represents a particular gene. In this process, two strains emerge (strain 3 and strain 4) that differ in their antigenic repertoire from their parent strains.
