The Role of GC-Biased Gene Conversion in Shaping the Fastest Evolving Regions of the Human Genome
GC-biased gene conversion (gBGC) is a recombination-associated evolutionary process that accelerates the fixation of guanine or cytosine alleles, regardless of their effects on fitness. gBGC can increase the overall rate of substitutions, a hallmark of positive selection. Many fast-evolving genes an...
