摘要:RNA viruses, by virtue of their high mutation rates and large population sizes, from complex mutant distributions termed viral quasispecies. Studies collected here address connections between theoretical quasispecies and real virus quasispecies, and the biological implications of the quasispecies structure of RNA viruses and other simple replicons.
