Gene conversion yields novel gene combinations in paralogs of GOT1 in the copepod Tigriopus californicus

BACKGROUND: Gene conversion of duplicated genes can slow the divergence of paralogous copies over time but can also result in other interesting evolutionary patterns. Islands of genetic divergence that persist in the face of gene conversion can point to gene regions undergoing selection for new func...
