Haplotype

... how closely related they are - within limits. Barring new mutations, mtDNA within any species will exist in a limited number of different haplotypes (mtDNA is haploid). That is, there are a limited number of different sequences of the mtDNAs within a species. All individuals differ in ...

... occurrence of gene conversion. There's no such thing as intragenic gene conversion, so I assume they are referring to the rate of recombination. A haplotype is the haploid genotype. Any single chromosome, being a single molecule, represents a haplotype. SNP A in gene 1, SNP H in gene 2, and SNP ...

... good explanation of it. So could anyone give me a general idea about what intragenic and interlocus conversion rates represent, and exactly what a haplotype is?

... all actually happened, I think that article doesn't give an answer (i.e. what happened on the cellular/molecular level - what was her previous MHC haplotype and what is the new one, how do her original tissues deal with this "new immune system" and various other such details). I'm eager ...
