The emergence of complexity and restricted pleiotropy in adapting networks.

BMC evolutionary biology - 7 Nov 2011

Le Nagard Hervé, Chao Lin, Tenaillon Olivier

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The emergence of organismal complexity has been a difficult subject for researchers because it is not readily amenable to investigation by experimental approaches. Complexity has a myriad of untested definitions and our understanding of its evolution comes primarily from static snapshots gleaned from organisms ranked on an intuitive scale. Fisher's geometric model of adaptation, which defines...
