Nonadaptive evolution of mitochondrial genome size.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2011

Boussau Bastien, Brown Jeremy M, Fujita Matthew K

Abstract excerpt

Genomes vary greatly in size and complexity, and identifying the evolutionary forces that have generated this variation remains a major goal in biology. A controversial proposal is that most changes in genome size are initially deleterious and therefore are linked to episodes of decrease in effective population sizes. Support for this hypothesis comes from large-scale comparative analyses, but vanishes when...
