Gene conversion

Gene conversion

The replacement of an allele during crossing- over owing to mismatch repair of the heteroduplex intermediate; rather than being equally represented in daughter DNA strands, one allele is over-represented and the other is under-represented. Partial repair can result in a hybrid or mosaic gene.
