In this article, we estimate the impact of gene duplication on the selection of tuf paralogs, and we find that in the absence of gene conversion, tuf paralogs have evolved significantly slower than when gene conversion has been a factor in their evolution. Thus, tuf gene copies evolve under a selective pressure that ensures their functional uniformity, and gene conversion reduces selection against amino acid substitutions that affect the function of the encoded protein, EF-Tu.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_status":"published","publication":"Trends in Genetics","issue":"5","acknowledgement":"We thank Peter Andolfatto, Doris Bachtrog, Robert Cutler, Hideki Innan, Eugene Koonin, Alexey Kondrashov and Martin Lercher for comments on the manuscript and for discussions on the interplay between gene conversion and selection.
