Constraints on the optimization of gene product diversity.

Abstract excerpt

RNA and proteins can have diverse isoforms due to post-transcriptional and post-translational modifications. A fundamental question is whether these isoforms are mostly beneficial or the result of noisy molecular processes. To assess the plausibility of these explanations, we developed mathematical models depicting different regulatory architectures and investigated isoform evolution under multiple population...
