Homologous recombination is an intrinsic defense against antiviral RNA interference [Microbiology]

RNA interference (RNAi) is the major antiviral defense mechanism of plants and invertebrates, rendering the capacity to evade it a defining factor in shaping the viral landscape. Here we sought to determine whether different virus replication strategies provided any inherent capacity to evade RNAi in the absence of an antagonist....
