The Effects of GC-Biased Gene Conversion on Patterns of Genetic Diversity among and across Butterfly Genomes.

Genome biology and evolution - 7 May 2021

Boman Jesper, Mugal Carina F, Backström Niclas

Abstract excerpt

Recombination reshuffles the alleles of a population through crossover and gene conversion. These mechanisms have considerable consequences on the evolution and maintenance of genetic diversity. Crossover, for example, can increase genetic diversity by breaking the linkage between selected and nearby neutral variants. Bias in favor of G or C alleles during gene conversion may instead promote the fixation of one...
