Abstract excerpt
Gene conversion, non-reciprocal transfer from one homologous sequence to another, is a major force in evolutionary dynamics, promoting co-evolution in gene families and maintaining similarities between repeated genes. However, the properties of the transfer - where it initiates, how far it proceeds and how the resulting conversion tracts are affected by mismatch repair - are not well understood. Here, we use the...
