Evolutionary coupling between the deleteriousness of gene mutations and the amount of non-coding sequences

C Knibbe, O Mazet, F Chaudier, JM Fayard… - Journal of Theoretical …, 2007 - Elsevier
The phenotypic effects of random mutations depend on both the architecture of the genome
and the gene–trait relationships. Both levels thus play a key role in the mutational variability …

Evolution of genome size in asexual digital organisms

A Gupta, T LaBar, M Miyagi, C Adami - Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com
