Lengths of Orthologous Prokaryotic Proteins Are Affected by Evolutionary Factors
BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Proteins of the same functional family (for example, kinases) may have significantly different lengths. It is an open question whether such variation in length is random or it appears as a response to some unknown evolutionary driving factors. The main purpose of this paper is to demonstrate existence of factors affecting prokaryotic gene lengths.
