Reassort means to sort again or rearrange into new groupings.
In virology, reassort describes how segmented viruses exchange genetic material when two strains infect the same cell, creating new combinations: The flu virus reassorted, producing a novel strain.
This genetic shuffling can generate pandemic strains with unpredictable properties.
