This allows an increase in functional diversity without an increase in genomic complexity.
is it not more like the genomic complexity is moved from one place in the DNA to another. Something has to code for the the RNA editing.
- AstralStorm 8y agoIt's like compression - the unpacker plus compressed data takes less space than directly writing all modified copies. It is actually higher complexity but shorter code. More vulnerable to mutations in one sense (damaging codon hits multiple genes), but less in another (shorter length means lower likelihood of damaging a codon).
