evolution calculations

Hardy-Weinberg certainly models evolution, albeit in a simple way, in terms of changes in allele frequency. It doesn't suggest that any evolution other than allelic frequency changes should occur.TTFN,WK

I think I have all of the pop genetics stuff I learned classified in my head under Hardy-Weinberg. You are right of course that there is not any change in allele frequency in fact the whole point of H-W equilibrium is that there is no significant change in allele frequency.My bad.TTFN,WK

I can see that my awareness campaign for the misleading nature of this article is not having much success.It would be better just to read some of the primary literature such as "Birth of a unique enzyme from an alternative reading frame of the pre-existed, internally repetitious coding sequence", Ohno S, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, Vol. 81, pp. 2421-2425, April 1984
'Emergence of nylon oligomer degradation enzymes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO through experimental evolution.', Prijambada ID, Negoro S, Yomo T, Urabe I; Appl Environ Microbiol. 1995 May;61(5):2020-2.TTFN,WK

Again, this is a precis of research and a less than readily accessible reference, a better reference would be... TTFN,WKThis message has been edited by Wounded King, 02-14-2005 04:26 AMThis message has been edited by Wounded King, 02-14-2005 11:42 AM
