Synergy between sequence and size in Large-scale genomics (2005, background): “For example, gene number and genome size are occasionally plotted for prokaryotes and sequenced eukaryotes taken together, which gives the impression that the two parameters are strongly correlated (although they taper off weakly at higher values) across both types of organis”

Selection in the evolution of gene duplications (2002, methodology): “A Kn/Ks ratio of 1 is assumed to indicate neutrality, Kn/Ks > 1 is a signature of positive selection at the amino-acid level, and Kn/Ks < 1 is indicative of purifying selection, which is the most common mode of selection [14,15].”
