Rapid concerted evolution via gene conversion at the Drosophila hsp70 genes.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 May 2002

Bettencourt Brian R, Feder Martin E

Abstract excerpt

We analyzed nucleotide variation in the hsp70 genes of Drosophila melanogaster (five genes) and D. simulans (four genes) to characterize the homogenizing and diversifying roles of gene conversion in their evolution. Gene conversion within and between the 87A7 and 87C1 gene clusters homogenize the hsp70 coding regions; in both D. melanogaster and D. simulans, same-cluster paralogues are virtually identical, and...
