+GENECONV: Statistical Tests for Detecting Gene Conversion
+
+Gene conversion is any process that causes a segment of DNA to be
+copied onto another segment of DNA, or else appears to act in this
+way. The target segment can be on the same chromosome, on a different
+chromosome, or in a different organism. Short-segment gene conversion
+is an important force in evolution, and often takes place at a higher
+frequency than does point mutation.
+
+Given an alignment of DNA or protein sequences, GENECONV finds the
+most likely candidates for aligned gene conversion events between
+pairs of sequences in the alignment. The program can also look for
+gene conversion events from outside of the alignment. Candidate events
+are ranked by multiple-comparison corrected P-values and listed to a
+spreadsheet-like output file.
+
+IMPORTANT:
+You may get a "Segmentation fault" when running the program; the
+problem arises only when GENECONV writes to its log file (e.g.
+myfile.nex.sum), as opposed to its main output file myfile.nex.frags;
+the easiest workaround is to run GENECONV with the -nolog option:
+
+geneconv myfile.nex -nolog
