Simple stochastic birth and death models of genome evolution: was there enough time for us to evolve?

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England) - 12 Oct 2003

Karev Georgy P, Wolf Yuri I, Koonin Eugene V

Abstract excerpt

MOTIVATION: The distributions of many genome-associated quantities, including the membership of paralogous gene families can be approximated with power laws. We are interested in developing mathematical models of genome evolution that adequately account for the shape of these distributions and describe the evolutionary dynamics of their formation. RESULTS: We show that simple stochastic models of genome evolution...
