GENOME POLITICS: STRATEGY AND TACTICS by Jonas Rubikas

“…This is clearly seen when the comparison between the information content (the gene number) and the life cycle of small genomes (plasmids, viruses, singlecellular prokaryotic organisms) is made: large space is occupied by information on replication enzymes and the sequence of replication origin. In higher eukaryotic multicellular organisms the increased complexity of the genome could be expressed as plus function information: for metabolism, for relations with environment, for nervous system. …”
