  • Title: A general method for identifying correct solutions in the quantitative analysis of gene conversion data.
    Author: Lamb BC.
    Journal: Can J Genet Cytol; 1986 Oct; 28(5):701-11. PubMed ID: 3801967.
    Abstract:
    Past attempts to obtain values for meiotic parameters relating to hybrid DNA formation and the correction of mismatched bases in hybrid DNA have not given unique solutions unless various simplifying assumptions were made. A method is given for identifying correct sets of solutions after calculating the frequency of hybrid DNA formation at a heterozygous site and using the fact that closely linked sites within a locus have very similar hybrid DNA formation frequencies. The method is illustrated with simulated data and Sordaria fimicola data; it can also show up incorrect assumptions in analysis. A method is suggested for assessing the importance of double-strand gaps in producing conversions.
