Runaway GC Evolution in Gerbil Genomes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Aug 2020

Pracana Rodrigo, Hargreaves Adam D, Mulley John F, Holland Peter W H

Abstract excerpt

Recombination increases the local GC-content in genomic regions through GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC). The recent discovery of a large genomic region with extreme GC-content in the fat sand rat Psammomys obesus provides a model to study the effects of gBGC on chromosome evolution. Here, we compare the GC-content and GC-to-AT substitution patterns across protein-coding genes of four gerbil species and two...
