Preservation of a pseudogene by gene conversion and diversifying selection.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2008

Takuno Shohei, Nishio Takeshi, Satta Yoko, Innan Hideki

Abstract excerpt

Interlocus gene conversion is considered a crucial mechanism for generating novel combinations of polymorphisms in duplicated genes. The importance of gene conversion between duplicated genes has been recognized in the major histocompatibility complex and self-incompatibility genes, which are lik...
