Abstract excerpt
The evolution of the probabilities of genetic identity within and between the loci of a multigene family dispersed among multiple chromosomes is investigated. Unbiased gene conversion, equal crossing over, random genetic drift, and mutation to new alleles are incorporated. Generations are discrete and nonoverlapping; the diploid, monoecious population mates at random. The linkage map is arbitrary, but the same...
