Notes
Paragraph Four
Kimura constructs an estimate of the rate of genome-wide nucleotide substitutions based on observed amino acid differences between species.
- Average years between amino acid substitutions in 100 amino acids [math]=28\times10^6[/math] a.
- Genome size estimate [math]=4\times10^9[/math] bp.
- Gene size coreesponding to 100 amino acids [math]=300[/math] bp.
