If the original inconsistent start sites were correct, it would imply a complicated evolutionary scenario: conversion of upstream intergenic sequence into coding sequence, in many cases subsuming promoters and transcription factor binding sites and possibly requiring evolution of new regulatory elements further upstream.
Over evolutionary time, gene conversion within repeated sequences has been an important mode in shaping eukaryotic genomes [ 44].
To understand the evolutionary process of conversion of noncoding sequences to coding, it is helpful to have well-supported examples that are very recent, indeed not yet fixed.
Furthermore, the strict demand for (A, B)(C, D -topologies as the only criteria to support 2R is to restrictive D -topologiescasions such as unequal evoluthenary rates, gene conlyrsion and loss of genes after duplicriteria
Conversely, widespread gene conversion is the major evolutionary force that has shaped the locus in Mexican wild potato species.
However, we think that our approach to convert a multiple alignment into a consensus sequence is more precise, since we have a clearer evolutionary base for such conversion.
Identification of polymorphisms in orthologous sequences that allow marker development in both species will provide a set of common genetic loci that can be implemented for comparative mapping and thus improve our understanding of the evolutionary history (gene duplication, conversion, and rearrangement) of the lily and tulip genome.
To improve our understanding of evolutionary history (gene duplication, conversion, rearrangement) of the lily and tulip genomes, we identified common genetic loci with SNP or SSR polymorphisms that can be used as marker in the available mapping populations for lily and tulip.
This gradient was attributed to repeated gene conversions over evolutionary time.
Non-allelic gene conversion enables rapid evolutionary change at multiple regulatory sites encoded by transposable elements.
