Within-lineage reassortment patterns. #33

The authors have focused on major reassortment events between Yam and Vic lineages. If the definition of reassortment is expanded to include sub-clades within the Yam and Vic lineages (as appear quite clearly on the PB1 and PB2 trees), does the pattern still hold? Or is this only occurring at the larger scale?

I think this is a whole different can of worms. Within-lineage reassortment deserves a paper of its own and an entirely different approach+dataset.
