โœฆ Synopsis


Sequences subject to recombination and gene conversion defy phylogenetic analysis by traditional methods since their evolutionary history cannot be adequately summarized by a tree. This study investigates ways to describe their evolutionary history and proposes a method giving a partial reconstruction of this history. Multigene families, viruses, and alleles from within populations experience recombinations/gene conversions, so the questions studied here are relevant for a large body of data and the suggested solutions should be very practical. The method employed was implemented in a program, RecPars, written in C and was used to analyze nine retroviruses.

The genomes of many species are dominated by short sequences repeated consecutively called tandem repeats. An understanding of the biological mechanisms that create and extend tandem repeats would be facilitated by reconstructing the history of duplication events that generated the tandem repeats. T
