Abstract

In the version of this article published, statements about the impact of insertions and deletions on gene conversions were incorrect. We reported a bias toward deletions, whereas in fact the bias was toward insertions. We are deeply indebted to Laurent Duret and Brice Letcher for noticing this mistake in our manuscript. The following statements are incorrect in the published manuscript.
