Interlocus gene conversion explains at least 2.7 % of single nucleotide variants in human segmental duplications

BACKGROUND: Interlocus gene conversion (IGC) is a recombination-based mechanism that results in the unidirectional transfer of short stretches of sequence between paralogous loci. Although IGC is a well-established mechanism of human disease, the extent to which this mutagenic process has shaped ove...
