Quasispecies and RNA Virus Evolution: Principles and Consequences (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit)

This book focuses on a new aspect of RNA virology which has become increasingly apparent in the last two decades: the dynamic, heterogeneous, and plastic nature of RNA viruses. It is a first attempt to bridge the gap from the basic, theoretical formulations underlying error-prone replication and generation of quasispecies, to their impact on how RNA viruses adapt and cause disease.
