Gene family evolution: an in-depth theoretical and simulation analysis of non-linear birth-death-innovation models
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The size distribution of gene families in a broad range of genomes is well approximated by a generalized Pareto function. Evolution of ensembles of gene families can be described with Birth, Death, and Innovation Models (BDIMs). Anal...
