Abstract excerpt
Concerted evolution is a process of homogenisation of repetitive sequences within a genome through unequal crossing over and gene conversion. This homogenisation is never fully achieved because mutations always create new variants. Classically, concerted evolution has been detected as "noise" in electropherograms and these variants have been characterised through cloning and sequencing of subsamples of amplified...
