A two-level model for the role of complex and young genes in the formation of organism complexity and new insights into the relationship between evolution and development

Abstract Background How genome complexity affects organismal phenotypic complexity is a fundamental question in evolutionary developmental biology. Previous studies proposed various contributing factors of genome complexity and tried to find the connection between genomic complexity and organism com...
