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

Heredity - 1 May 1998

Lamb B C

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 An analysis of published and unpublished data demonstrates that yeast frequently shows significant...
