Genetic equidistance at nucleotide level.
Genomics - 1 Jul 2017
Yuan Dejian, Huang Shi
Abstract excerpt
The genetic equidistance phenomenon shows complex taxa to be all approximately equidistant to a less complex species in amino acid percentage identity. The overlooked mystery was re-interpreted by the maximum genetic diversity hypothesis (MGD). Here, we studied 14 proteomes and their coding DNA sequences (CDS) to see if the equidistance phenomenon also holds at the CDS level. We found that the outgroup taxon was...
