Gene conversion is the process by which one DNA sequence replaces a homologous sequence such that the sequences become identical after the conversion...

selection for V(D)J, but they also perform somatic gene conversion. This kind of gene conversion is also started by the AID enzyme, leading to a double-strand...

Gene conversion allows tandemly arrayed genes to become homogenized, or identical. Gene conversion may be allelic or ectopic. Allelic gene conversion...

DNA elements allow new genes to evolve by uncoupling similar DNA sequences from gene conversion during meiosis. Gene conversion acts on DNA sequence homology...

appeared that the m gene had been converted to the + gene or vice versa. And so the phenomenon was termed "gene conversion." Gene conversion was first detected...

fixed due to some combination of natural selection, genetic drift, and gene conversion. Mutations are permanent, transmissible changes to the genetic material...

cycles of gene transfer and conversion increasingly make gene family members more similar. In the process of gene transfer, allelic gene conversion is biased...

intermediates preceding gene conversion were found to rarely take the alternate route of crossover recombination. The Y-Y gene conversion rate in humans is...

possibly due to the action of biased gene conversion rather than adaptive evolution. Several of the HARs encompass genes known to produce proteins important...

Gene conversion has often been studied in fungal crosses where the 4 products of individual meioses can be conveniently observed. Gene conversion events...

the repressor is turned off as is H2 allowing H1 to be expressed. Gene conversion is another example of a type of phase variation. Type IV pili of Neisseria...

and in some cases of mitosis. Gene conversion can be one of the major forms of non-Mendelian inheritance. Gene conversion arises during DNA repair via...

Gene duplication (or chromosomal duplication or gene amplification) is a major mechanism through which new genetic material is generated during molecular...

organisms. Some genes may be more prone to gene conversion than others[citation needed], thus reinforcing the unity of the genes within a gene family of a...

laboratories, established the phenomenon of "gene conversion" (e.g. see references). As an example of the gene conversion phenomenon, consider genetic crosses...

Normally genes are responsible for occurrence of crossing over. It exchanges sequences of different links between chromosomes. Along with gene conversion, it...

with gene conversion during somatic recombination in B cells. The mutation in the gene causes an enzyme that does not function properly, thus gene conversion...

Furthermore, the fraction of homologous recombination events occurring by gene conversion is increased. These findings suggest that the normal untruncated nuclear...

original published mechanism of RB1 LOH was mitotic recombination/gene conversion/copy-neutral LOH, not deletion. There is a critical difference between...

of the original set of strands leads to two molecules that may show gene conversion but not chromosomal crossover, while cleavage of the other set of two...

Most breaks are repaired without forming crossovers resulting in gene conversion. However, a subset of breaks (at least one per chromosome) form crossovers...

fitness of an organism. Rather, current evidence suggests that GC‐biased gene conversion (gBGC) is a driving factor behind variation in GC content. gBGC is...

the heavy and light gene Ig loci take part in somatic gene conversion – a process where pseudogenes replace the VH and VL genes. This diversifies the...

including proteins and carbohydrates. Antigenic variation can result from gene conversion, site-specific DNA inversions, hypermutation, or recombination of sequence...

and might be linked to a molecular phenomenon called the GC-biased gene conversion. In polymerase chain reaction (PCR) experiments, the GC-content of...

proteins can then recombine, through a process called gene conversion, resulting in a new gene variant. This has a profound effect on the fitness of an...

resemble functional genes. Pseudogenes can be formed from both protein-coding genes and non-coding genes. In the case of protein-coding genes, most pseudogenes...

analyses have also contributed to detection and study of the phenomena of gene conversion and post-meiotic segregation. These studies have proven central to...

gene and the pseudogene, and between different RCCX modules. Moreover, PCR may not be able to detect complex variants such as large gene conversions,...

codon biases reflect the contributions of 3 main factors: GC-biased gene conversion that favors GC-ending codons in diploid organisms, arrival biases reflecting...
