Multiple lines of evidence from a variety of taxa strongly suggest that gene conversion events are biased toward GC-bearing alleles. However, in Drosophila, the data have largely been indirect and unclear, with some studies supporting the predictions of a GC-biased gene conversion model and other data showing contradictory findings. Here, we test whether gene conversion events are GC-biased in Drosophila melanogaster using whole-genome polymorphism and divergence data. Our results provide no support for GC-biased gene conversion and thus suggest that this process is unlikely to significantly contribute to patterns of polymorphism and divergence in this system.}, number={2}, journal={MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION}, author={Robinson, Matthew C. and Stone, Eric A. and Singh, Nadia D.}, year={2014}, month={Feb}, pages={425–433} }
