Pyrosequencing Evaluation of Widely Available Bisulfite Conversion Methods: Considerations for Application [PDF]
, 2014 Introduction: Bisulfite treatment of DNA introduces methylation-dependent sequence changes through selective chemical conversion of nonmethylated cytosine to uracil and serves as pretreatment step for the majority of DNA methylation analysis methods ...

Patterns of gene conversion in duplicated yeast histones suggest strong selection on a coadapted macromolecular complex [PDF]
, 2015 We find evidence for interlocus gene conversion in five duplicated histone genes from six yeast species. The sequences of these duplicated genes, surviving from the ancient genome duplication, show phylogenetic patterns inconsistent with the well ...

Mechanisms of Ectopic Gene Conversion [PDF]
Genes, 2010 Gene conversion (conversion), the unidirectional transfer of DNA sequence information, occurs as a byproduct of recombinational repair of broken or damaged DNA molecules. Whereas excision repair processes replace damaged DNA by copying the complementary sequence from the undamaged strand of duplex DNA, recombinational mechanisms copy similar sequence ...

The processive kinetics of gene conversion in bacteria [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2017 SummaryGene conversion, non‐reciprocal transfer from one homologous sequence to another, is a major force in evolutionary dynamics, promoting co‐evolution in gene families and maintaining similarities between repeated genes. However, the properties of the transfer – where it initiates, how far it proceeds and how the resulting conversion tracts are ...

Involvement of plastid, mitochondrial and nuclear genomes in plant-to-plant horizontal gene transfer
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 This review focuses on plant-to-plant horizontal gene transfer (HGT) involving the three DNA-containing cellular compartments. It highlights the great incidence of HGT in the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) of angiosperms, the increasing number of examples ...

Gene tree species tree reconciliation with gene conversion [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2019 Gene tree/species tree reconciliation is a recent decisive progress in phylo-genetic methods, accounting for the possible differences between gene histories and species histories. Reconciliation consists in explaining these differences by gene-scale events such as duplication, loss, transfer, which translates mathematically into a mapping between gene ...
