The minimal genome concept.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Dec 1999

Mushegian A

Abstract excerpt

Complete genome sequences are becoming available for a large number of diverse species. Quantification of gene content, of gene family expansion, of orthologous gene conservation, as well as their displacement, are now possible - laying the ground for the estimation of the minimal set of proteins sufficient for cellular life. The consensus of computational results suggests a set close to 300 genes. These...
