Abstract
CORRECTION of mis-paired bases in hybrid DNA is a basic postulate of current models of gene conversion and recombination1–5. Although some models invoke different origins of hybrid DNA, they involve similar repair processes. At each heterozygous site in a region of hybrid DNA, there are three possibilities: repair to wild type, repair to mutant and non-repair.
