Abstract excerpt
Analysis of published data on protein heterozygosity of 321 species of mammals shows that it varies from 0 up to 22%, an average species being heterozygous at 5% of its protein-coding loci. Many attempts have been made to explain the observed differences in protein heterozygosity, relating its value to various species-, population-, or environment-specific parameters. In this work it is shown that the wide...
