Summary of gene conversion analysis for primate HBD and HBB paralogues.

a In cases where multiple methods detected the same or a similar conversion event, we reported the breakpoint positions and the method yielding the lowest average Bonferroni corrected p-value, which is shown in bold; breakpoint positions refer to the nucleotide positions in the full alignment of the Primate HBB and HBD sequences.b The major parental and minor parental sequences correspond to the parent contributing to the larger fraction and to the minor fraction of the recombinant sequence, respectively. In all 4 events the major parental sequence is unknown given that the presence of a parent and a recombinant in the alignment is sufficient for a recombination event to be detected by these methods.c The breakpoint for the recombination event number 4 varies depending on the species in which it was detected: 197 in Platyrrhines (N.monkey, Marmoset and S.monkey) and 367 in Catarrhines (Human, Chimpanzee, Gorilla, Gibbon, Guereza, Grivet, Rhesus, Babbon), leading to different gene conversion tract length predictions for these groups.Summary of gene conversion analysis for primate HBD and HBB paralogues.
