Classification of life by the mechanism of genome size evolution
Dirson Jian Li, Shengli Zhang
The classification of life should be based upon the fundamental mechanism in the evolution of life. We found that the global relationships among species should be circular phylogen…
Genetic code evolution as an initial driving force for molecular evolution
Dirson Jian Li, Shengli Zhang
There is an intrinsic relationship between the molecular evolution in primordial period and the properties of genomes and proteomes of contemporary species. The genomic data may he…
Prediction of genomic properties and classification of life by protein length distributions
Dirson Jian Li, Shengli Zhang
Much evolutionary information is stored in the fluctuations of protein length distributions. The genome size and non-coding DNA content can be calculated based only on the protein…
The C-value enigma and timing of the Cambrian explosion
Dirson Jian Li, Shengli Zhang
The Cambrian explosion is a grand challenge to science today and involves multidisciplinary study. This event is generally believed as a result of genetic innovations, environmenta…
Holographic bound and protein linguistics
Dirson Jian Li, Shengli Zhang
The holographic bound in physics constrains the complexity of life. The finite storage capability of information in the observable universe requires the protein linguistics in the…
Linguistic mechanism of the evolution of amino acid frequencies and genomic GC content
Dirson Jian Li
Much information is stored in amino acid composition of protein and base composition of DNA. We simulated the evolution of amino acid frequencies and genomic GC content by a lingui…
