Gene conversion analysis for porcine type I IFN genes.

Gene conversion was analyzed with GENECONV [25] the default setting. Both the Sim P-value based on permutation and Bonferroni-corrected (BC) KA (BLAST-like) P-values were used to estimate gene conversion among compared homologues. The significant pairs with either or both P-values <0.05 were listed. The gene-converted fragments in 5′-, 3′-terminal, or/and open reading frame (ORF) regions were aligned. The polymorphic sites and mismatched sites between gene-converted fragments were listed under “number of polymorphisms” and “total of differences”.
