Can tetraplex recombination models explain observations in induced mitotic gene conversion?

Abstract excerpt

Induced mitotic gene conversion studies on the CYC1 gene of yeast have shown that the actual base pair changes, the types of changes (base substitution, deletion or addition) and the distances between mutations all affect gene conversion yields. In crosses between mutations less than four bases apart, gene conversion rates are as low as back mutation rates. The same mutants crossed to alleles more than five bases...
