  • Evaluation of methods for detecting conversion events in gene clusters.

    Song G, Hsu CH, Riemer C, Miller W. BMC Bioinformatics. 2011: 12 Suppl 1 S45

    Gene clusters are genetically important, but their analysis poses significant computational challenges. One of the major reasons for these difficulties is gene conversion among the duplicated regions of the cluster, which can obscure their true relationships. Many computational methods for detecting gene conversion events have been released, but their performance has not been assessed for wide deployment in evolutionary history studies due to a lack of accurate evaluation methods.
