Abstract excerpt
To determine the relative importance of gene conversion followed by natural selection and of natural selection for point mutation in generating variability in immunoglobulins, the numbers of synonymous and nonsynonymous substitutions in immunoglobulin sequences of various subgroups were estimated for complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) and for framework regions (FRs). Both the number of synonymous...
