Abstract excerpt
Gene conversion is considered to play important roles in the formation of genomic makeup such as homogenization of multigene families and diversification of alleles. We devised two statistical tests on quartets for detecting gene conversion events. Each "quartet" consists of two pairs of orthologous sequences supposed to have been generated by a duplication event and a subsequent speciation of two closely related...
