Little evidence for homoeologous gene conversion and homoeologous exchange events in <i>Gossypium</i> allopolyploids
Overall, our analyses demonstrated that homoeologous gene conversion and homoeologous exchanges are uncommon in Gossypium, affecting between zero and 24 genes per subgenome (0.0-0.065%) across the seven species. More generally, we highlighted the potential problems of using simple four-taxon tests to investigate patterns of homoeologous gene conversion in established allopolyploids.
