Abstract excerpt
The effect of directional selection on the fixation process of a single mutation that spreads in a multigene family by gene conversion is investigated. A simple two-locus model with two alleles, A and a, is first considered in a random-mating diploid population with size N. There are four haplotypes, AA, Aa, aA, and aa, and selection works on the number of alleles A in a diplod (i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4). Because gene...
