Gene Conversion in Angiosperm Genomes with an Emphasis on Genes Duplicated by Polyploidization
Angiosperm genomes differ from those of mammals by extensive and recursive polyploidizations. The resulting gene duplication provides opportunities both for genetic innovation, and for concerted evolution. Though most genes may escape conversion by their homologs, concerted evolution of duplicated g...
