Selectionism and Neutralism in Molecular Evolution (article)
Selectionism and Neutralism in Molecular Evolution is a scholarly work by Masatoshi Nei, published in 2005 in ''Molecular Biology and Evolution''. The main subjects of the publication include evolutionary dynamics, phenotype, Directional selection, convergent evolution, Synonymous substitution, evolutionary biology, biology, gene, Nonsynonymous substitution, gene duplication, neutral theory of molecular evolution, natural selection, purifying selection, genetics, mutation, Concerted evolution, neutral mutation, RNA sequencing, ocular adaptation, The Evolution of Cooperation, molecular evolution, and selection (genetic algorithm). Previously, multigene families were thought to evolve following the model of concerted evolution, but new evidence indicates that most of them evolve by a birth-and-death process of duplicate genes.
