A Model-Based Analysis of GC-Biased Gene Conversion in the Human and Chimpanzee Genomes [PDF]
GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC) is a recombination-associated process that favors the fixation of G/C alleles over A/T alleles. In mammals, gBGC is hypothesized to contribute to variation in GC content, rapidly evolving sequences, and the fixation of ...
