Evolutionary constraints on yeast protein size

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Despite a strong evolutionary pressure to reduce genome size, proteins vary in length over a surprisingly wide range also in very compact genomes. Here we investigated the evolutionary forces that act on protein size in the yeast <...
