Estimating gene conversion tract length and rate from PacBio HiFi data
2024-07-06
Abstract excerpt
Gene conversions are broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material from a ‘donor’ to an ‘acceptor’ sequence and can happen both in meiosis and mitosis. They are a subset of non-crossover events and, like crossover events, gene conversion can generate new combinations of alleles and counteract mutation load by reverting germline mutations through GC-biased gene conversion. Estimating gene conversion rate and...
