The evolution of secondary metabolism - a unifying model.
Why do microbes make secondary products? That question has been the subject of intense debate for many decades. There are two extreme opinions. Some argue that most secondary metabolites play no role in increasing the fitness of an organism. The opposite view, now widely held, is that every secondary metabolite is made because it possesses (or did possess at some stage in evolution) a biologica...
متن کاملA Model on Genome Evolution
A model of genome evolution is proposed. Based on three assumptions the evolutionary theory of a genome is formulated. The general law on the direction of genome evolution is given. Both the deterministic classical equation and the stochastic quantum equation are proposed. It is proved that the classical equation can be put in a form of the least action principle and the latter can be used for ...
متن کاملParsimony with General Character Evolution
The questions of how to test hypotheses of character evolution, and incorporate character evolution into phylogenetic analysis are considered in this thesis. When a character transformation series is not linear, it is usually decoded into a set of binary characters by various binary coding methods. The disadvantages of such an approach have been discussed extensively in the literature. We propo...
متن کاملGASTS: Parsimony Scoring under Rearrangements
The accumulation of whole-genome data has renewed interest in the study of genomic rearrangements. Comparative genomics, evolutionary biology, and cancer research all require models and algorithms to elucidate the mechanisms, history, and consequences of these rearrangements. However, rearrangements lead to NP-hard problems, so that current approaches, such as the MGR tool, are limited to small...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
