Estimating meiotic gene conversion rates from population genetic data.
Gene conversion plays an important part in shaping genetic diversity in populations, yet estimating the rate at which it occurs is difficult because of the short lengths of DNA involved. We have developed a new statistical approach to estimating gene conversion rates from genetic variation, by extending an existing model for haplotype data in the presence of crossover events. We show, by simula...
متن کاملMeiotic gene conversion and crossing over between dispersed homologous sequences occurs frequently in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
We have examined meiotic recombination between two defined leu2 heteroalleles present at the normal LEU2 locus and in leu2-containing plasmids inserted at four other genomic locations. In diploids where the two leu2 markers were present at allelic locations on parental homologs, the frequency of Leu2+ spores varied 38-fold, in a location-dependent manner. These results indicate that recombinati...
متن کاملMitotic and meiotic gene conversion of Ty elements and other insertions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
We examined meiotic and mitotic gene conversion events involved in deletion of Ty elements and other insertions from the genome of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We found that Ty elements and one other insertion were deleted by mitotic gene conversion less frequently than point mutations at the same loci. One non-Ty insertion similar in size to Ty, however, did not show this bias. Mitotic ...

Gene conversion, the non-reciprocal exchange of genetic information, is one of the potential products of meiotic recombination. It can shape genome structure by acting on repetitive DNA elements, influence allele frequencies at the population level, and is known to be implicated in human disease. But gene conversion is hard to detect directly except in organisms, like fungi, that group their ga...
متن کاملMeiotic recombination in Drosophila Msh6 mutants yields discontinuous gene conversion tracts.
Crossovers (COs) generated through meiotic recombination are important for the correct segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Several models describing the molecular mechanism of meiotic recombination have been proposed. These models differ in the arrangement of heteroduplex DNA (hDNA) in recombination intermediates. Heterologies in hDNA are usually repaired prior to the recovery...
