Abstract excerpt
Patchwork homology observed between divergent members of polymorphic multigene families is thought to reflect evolution by short-tract gene conversion (nonreciprocal recombination), although this mechanism cannot usually be confirmed in higher organisms. In contrast to meiotic conversions observed in laboratory yeast strains, apparent conversions between polymorphic sequences, such as the class I loci of the...
