Evolution of Genome Size in Asexual Digital Organisms.

Scientific reports - 16 May 2016

Gupta Aditi, LaBar Thomas, Miyagi Miriam, Adami Christoph

Abstract excerpt

Genome sizes have evolved to vary widely, from 250 bases in viroids to 670 billion bases in some amoebas. This remarkable variation in genome size is the outcome of complex interactions between various evolutionary factors such as mutation rate and population size. While comparative genomics has uncovered how some of these evolutionary factors influence genome size, we still do not understand what drives genome...
