A model for the evolution of paralog families in genomes.

Abstract excerpt

We introduce and analyse a simple probabilistic model of genome evolution. It is based on three fundamental evolutionary events: gene loss, duplication and accumulated change. This is motivated by previous works which consisted in fitting the available genomic data into, what is called paralog distributions. This formalism is described by a system of infinite number of linear equations. We show that this system...
