Drake's rule as a consequence of approaching channel capacity.

Abstract excerpt

How mutations accumulate in genomes is the central question of molecular evolution theories. However, our understanding of this process is far from complete. Drake's rule is a notoriously universal property of genomes from microbes to mammals-the number of (functional) mutations per-genome per-generation is approximately constant within a phylum, despite the orders of magnitude differences in genome sizes and...
