Gene conversion disparity in yeast: its extent, multiple origins, and effects on allele frequencies.

Abstract excerpt

The extent of disparity in gene conversion direction in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is important for recombination mechanisms and for effects of conversion on allele frequencies in populations. An analysis of published and unpublished data demonstrates that yeast frequently shows significant and extensive conversion disparity, contrary to many published statements. All types of mutation--base-substitutions,...
