GC-biased gene conversion in X-Chromosome palindromes conserved in human, chimpanzee, and rhesus macaque

2021-04-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Gene conversion is GC-biased across a wide range of taxa. Large palindromes on mammalian sex chromosomes undergo frequent gene conversion that maintains arm-to-arm sequence identity greater than 99%, which may increase their susceptibility to the effects of GC-biased gene conversion. Here, we demonstrate a striking history of GC-biased gene conversion in 12 palindromes conserved on the X chromos...
