Deep genome-wide measurement of meiotic gene conversion using tetrad analysis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

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. Bu...
