Documentation for SLiM function setGeneConversion, which is a method of the SLiM class Chromosome. Note that the R function is a stub, it does not do anything in R (except bring up this documentation). It will only do anything useful when used inside a slim_block function further nested in a slim_script function call, where it will be translated into valid SLiM code as part of a full SLiM script.

setGeneConversion(
  nonCrossoverFraction,
  meanLength,
  simpleConversionFraction,
  bias
)

`nonCrossoverFraction`	An object of type numeric or numeric or numeric or numeric. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). See details for description.
`meanLength`	An object of type numeric or numeric or numeric or numeric. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). See details for description.
`simpleConversionFraction`	An object of type numeric or numeric or numeric or numeric. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). See details for description.
`bias`	An object of type numeric or numeric or numeric or numeric. Must be of length 1 (a singleton). The default value is `0`. See details for description.

This method switches the recombination model to the "double-stranded break (DSB)” model (if it is not already set to that), and configures the details of the gene conversion tracts that will therefore be modeled (see section 1.5.6 for discussion of the "DSB” recombination model). The meanings and effects of the parameters exactly mirror the initializeGeneConversion() function; see section 23.1 for details.

An object of type void.
