Abstract

SUMMARY: The gene conversion model reported by Birky & Skavaril (1976) has been analytically studied by using the theory of diffusion models of Kimura (1964) in population genetics. It has been shown that the fate of new mutations in systems with multiple genomes may be satisfactorily treated by the diffusion model.
