Theories for analyzing polymorphism data in duplicated genes.

Abstract excerpt

A simple model for the evolutionary process of a pair of duplicated genes under concerted evolution is developed. The model considers mutation, recombination and gene conversion between two genes in a finite population. Based on diffusion theory, the expected amount of DNA variation within and between two genes are obtained. To investigate the pattern of DNA polymorphism, a coalescent tool to simulate patterns of...
