Conversion-driven Genome Evolution

Conversion-Driven Genome Evolution is a theoretical framework in molecular evolution that posits gene conversion as a primary mechanism shaping genomic diversity and architecture by non-reciprocally transferring genetic information between homologous sequences, thereby biasing allele fixation and influencing evolutionary trajectories.
