Population genomic analysis reveals no evidence for GC-biased gene conversion in Drosophila melanogaster.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Feb 2014

Robinson Matthew C, Stone Eric A, Singh Nadia D

Abstract excerpt

Gene conversion is the nonreciprocal exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. Multiple lines of evidence from a variety of taxa strongly suggest that gene conversion events are biased toward GC-bearing alleles. However, in Drosophila, the data have largely been indirect and unclear, with some studies supporting the predictions of a GC-biased gene conversion model and other data showing...
