The paradox of extremely fast evolution driven by genetic drift in multi-copy gene systems

2023-06-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Multi-copy gene systems that evolve within, as well as between, individuals are common. They include viruses, mitochondrial DNAs, multi-gene families etc. The paradox is that neutral evolution in two stages should be slower than single-copy systems but the opposite is often true. We now apply the Haldane model, recently generalized as the GH model (1), to quantify genetic drift in mammalian ribo...
