The evolution of MHC diversity: evidence of intralocus gene conversion and recombination in a single-locus system.

Gene - 10 Apr 2012

Bahr Angela, Wilson Anthony B

Abstract excerpt

Gene conversion, the unidirectional exchange of genetic material between homologous sequences, is thought to strongly influence patterns of genetic diversity. The high diversity of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes in many species is thought to reflect a long history of gene conversion events both within and among loci. Theoretical work suggests that intra- and interlocus gene conversion leave...
