Recombination most often occurs on the COVID-19 phylogenetic tree in the form of 'long branches'

An analysis of millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes finds that recombination of the virus is uncommon, but when it occurs, it is most often in the spike protein region, the area which allows the virus to ...
