Evidence for the <i>s</i> count macrogene

2015-07-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> A macrogene is defined here as a gene on which successive mutations incrementing a repeat count produces successive punctuated evolutionary events in species that are homogeneous for it. The set of repeat count on the asp (abnormal spindle) family of gene is thought to affect brain size in mammals. Corticogenesis requires two integer valued (quantum) variables, the f and s counts, to determ...
