GENECONV: Statistical Tests for Detecting Gene Conversion
|
|
|
|
Gene conversion is any process that causes a segment of DNA to be
|
|
copied onto another segment of DNA, or else appears to act in this
|
|
way. The target segment can be on the same chromosome, on a different
|
|
chromosome, or in a different organism. Short-segment gene conversion
|
|
is an important force in evolution, and often takes place at a higher
|
|
frequency than does point mutation.
|
|
|
|
Given an alignment of DNA or protein sequences, GENECONV finds the
|
|
most likely candidates for aligned gene conversion events between
|
|
pairs of sequences in the alignment. The program can also look for
|
|
gene conversion events from outside of the alignment. Candidate events
|
|
are ranked by multiple-comparison corrected P-values and listed to a
|
|
spreadsheet-like output file.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT:
|
|
You may get a "Segmentation fault" when running the program; the
|
|
problem arises only when GENECONV writes to its log file (e.g.
|
|
myfile.nex.sum), as opposed to its main output file myfile.nex.frags;
|
|
the easiest workaround is to run GENECONV with the -nolog option:
|
|
|
|
geneconv myfile.nex -nolog
|
|

NOTE!
|
|
The program GENECONV is free for academic use, but commercial rights are
|
|
reserved. The program may be freely distributed for academic use, as
|
|
long as it is not altered or renamed.
