It is well established that GC content varies across the genome in many species
and that GC biased gene conversion, one form of meiotic recombination, is likely to
contribute to this heterogeneity. Bird genomes provide an extraordinary system to study
the impact of GC biased gene conversion owed to their specific genomic features. They
are characterized by a high karyotype conservation with ...
