CoHSI IV: Unifying Horizontal and Vertical Gene Transfer - is Mechanism Irrelevant ?
Les Hatton,
Gregory Warr
Abstract:In previous papers we have described with strong experimental support, the organising role that CoHSI (Conservation of Hartley-Shannon Information) plays in determining important global properties of all known proteins, from defining the length distribution, to the natural emergence of very long proteins and their relationship to evolutionary time. Here we consider the insight that CoHSI might bring to a different problem, the distribution of identical proteins across species. Horizontal and Vertical Gene Tran… Show more
