Evolution of genome size: multilevel selection, mutation bias or dynamical chaos?

Abstract excerpt

In the past two years, new data on conceptual aspects of the evolution of eukaryotic genome size have appeared, including the adaptivity of genome enlargement, the mechanisms of genome size change and the relation of genome size to organismal complexity. New data on the hypotheses of "selfish DNA" and "mutational equilibrium" have been recently obtained. A relationship is emerging between the intragenomic...
