The Neutral Theory of Molecular Evolution
TL;DR
Comprehensive mathematical treatment of neutral evolution
Kimura's comprehensive monograph expanding on his 1968 Nature paper. Provides detailed mathematical treatment of neutral evolution and extensive empirical evidence supporting the theory that most molecular variation is selectively neutral.
Key Findings from Kimura (1983)
- Comprehensive mathematical treatment of neutral evolution
- Extensive empirical evidence for neutral theory
- Regions under weak selective constraint evolve faster than constrained regions
