TY - JOUR AU - Zmasek, Christian M. AU - Godzik, Adam PY - 2011 DA - 2011/01/17 TI - Strong functional patterns in the evolution of eukaryotic genomes revealed by the reconstruction of ancestral protein domain repertoires JO - Genome Biology SP - R4 VL - 12 IS - 1 AB - Genome size and complexity, as measured by the number of genes or protein domains, is remarkably similar in most extant eukaryotes and generally exhibits no correlation with their morphological complexity. Underlying trends in the evolution of the functional content and capabilities of different eukaryotic genomes might be hidden by simultaneous gains and losses of genes.
