摘要: If genes have been assembled from exon subunits, the frequency with which exons are reused leads to an estimate of size underlying universe. An database was constructed available protein sequences, and homologous were identified on basis amino acid identity; statistically significant matches determined by Monte Carlo methods. It is estimated that only 1000 7000 needed construct all proteins.
