gene conversion [′jēn kən‚vər·zhən] (genetics) A situation in which gametocytes of an individual that is heterozygous for a pair of alleles undergo meiosis, and the gametes produced are in a 3:1 ratio rather than the expected 2:2 ratio, implying that one allele was converted to the other.

This pattern of relationship and the lack of evidence of gene conversion from horizontal gene transfer at this locus, demonstrates that, as for the Lyme borreliosis spirochetes (10), the intergenic spacer region is both sensitive and sufficient for genotyping the relapsing fever group of Borrelia species. Cibus' proprietary gene conversion technology, known as the Rapid Trait Development System (RTDS[TM]), will be used to develop this new trait in grain sorghum, providing high tolerance levels to Valent's leading postemergence grass herbicide brand, Select Max([R]) Herbicide with Inside Technology([TM]). The novel alleles at the opaB and opaD loci in genocloud 2 bacteria from Moscow probably represent gene conversion with the opaJ101 and opaA132 alleles (Figure 4). |
