A long-term evolutionary pressure on the amount of noncoding DNA.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Oct 2007

Knibbe Carole, Coulon Antoine, Mazet Olivier, Fayard Jean-Michel, Beslon Guillaume

Abstract excerpt

A significant part of eukaryotic noncoding DNA is viewed as the passive result of mutational processes, such as the proliferation of mobile elements. However, sequences lacking an immediate utility can nonetheless play a major role in the long-term evolvability of a lineage, for instance by promoting genomic rearrangements. They could thus be subject to an indirect selection. Yet, such a long-term effect is...
