Did Genetic Drift Drive Increases in Genome Complexity?
Mechanisms underlying the dramatic patterns of genome size variation across the tree of life remain mysterious. Effective population size (N(e)) has been proposed as a major driver of genome size: selection is expected to efficiently weed out deleterious mutations increasing genome size in lineages with large (but not small) N(e). Strong support for this model was claimed from a comparative ana...
متن کاملThe consequences of genetic drift for bacterial genome complexity.
Genetic drift, which is particularly effective within small populations, can shape the size and complexity of genomes by affecting the fixation of deleterious mutations. In Bacteria, assessing the contribution of genetic drift to genome evolution is problematic because the usual methods, based on intraspecific polymorphisms, can be thwarted by difficulties in delineating species' boundaries. Th...

متن کاملAnalysis of Complexity Drift in Genetic Programming
One serious problem of standard Genetic Programming (GP) is that evolved structures appear to drift towards large and slow forms on average. This paper presents a novel analysis of the role played by variable complexity in the selection and survival of GP expressions. It deenes a particular property of GP representations, called rooted tree-schema, that sheds light on the role of variable compl...
متن کاملGenome dynamics, genetic complexity and macroevolution
Genome data analysis indicates that the major evolutionary transitions have been driven by substantial increases in genomic complexity. These increases, accounting for novelty in evolution, have proceeded mainly by gene duplication. This idea, advanced by Ohno (1968), remains current in the study of several organisms whose genomes have been sequenced. Maize, yeast, and humans contain more paral...
