Bacteria	40	137	98	36	3
Viruses	15	30	22	8	0
Archaea	1	1	0	1	0
Kingdom	Species count	Paper count	Mechanism	Event	N/A

Viridiplantae	44	93	34	59	0

In this table, we list how many abstracts fall into superkingdom and kingdom categories (for the kingdom breakdown, we focus on eukaryotes). We list the total count of abstracts as well as a breakdown of how many of these abstracts dealt with gene conversion mechanisms, specific gene conversion events, or whether there was not enough information to determine the type of gene conversion research (N/A).
