Gene conversion yields novel gene combinations in paralogs of GOT1 in the copepod Tigriopus californicus.

BMC evolutionary biology - 12 Jul 2013

Willett Christopher S

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Gene conversion of duplicated genes can slow the divergence of paralogous copies over time but can also result in other interesting evolutionary patterns. Islands of genetic divergence that persist in the face of gene conversion can point to gene regions undergoing selection for new functions. Novel combinations of genetic variation that differ greatly from the original sequence can result from the...
