A strong deletion bias in nonallelic gene conversion.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jan 2012

Assis Raquel, Kondrashov Alexey S

Abstract excerpt

Gene conversion is the unidirectional transfer of genetic information between orthologous (allelic) or paralogous (nonallelic) genomic segments. Though a number of studies have examined nucleotide replacements, little is known about length difference mutations produced by gene conversion. Here, we investigate insertions and deletions produced by nonallelic gene conversion in 338 Drosophila and 10,149 primate...
