Gene Conversion Facilitates Adaptive Evolution on Rugged Fitness Landscapes.

Genetics - 1 Dec 2017

Bittihn Philip, Tsimring Lev S

Abstract excerpt

Gene conversion is a ubiquitous phenomenon that leads to the exchange of genetic information between homologous DNA regions and maintains coevolving multi-gene families in most prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. In this paper, we study its implications for the evolution of a single functional gene with a silenced duplicate, using two different models of evolution on rugged fitness landscapes. Our analytical...
