Evolution of bacterial diversity and the origins of modularity.

Research in microbiology - 1 Jun 2004

Rainey Paul B, Cooper Tim F

Abstract excerpt

A characteristic feature of all organisms is modular organisation: the tendency for groups of genes to interact in such a way as to limit the extent of pleiotropic effects among characters belonging to different functional complexes. While the implications of modularity for the evolution of variability have been much discussed the evolutionary origins remain obscure. Here we develop a model, with special...
