Quantifying organismal complexity using a population genetic approach.
Various definitions of biological complexity have been proposed: the number of genes, cell types, or metabolic processes within an organism. As knowledge of biological systems has increased, it has become apparent that these metrics are often incongruent.Here we propose an alternative complexity met...
