Homologous and non-homologous recombination in coronaviruses, including natural recombination events and their role in generating genome features such as spike insertions, cleavage sites, and chimeric viral genomes; distinct from laboratory recombination or reverse-genetic engineering.

Reported intermediate A-B SARS-CoV-2 genomes are genuine biological intermediates, not sequencing artifacts
