Protein multiplicity: exemplifying an overwhelmingly likely pattern of molecular evolution? by Les Hatton, Greg Warr

“…In this study, we test both the falsifiability and utility of predictions from the CoHSI theory in the context of molecular evolution. First, we test whether CoHSI accurately predicts a heretofore unknown outcome of macroevolution, the distribution of protein multiplicity. …”
