Information from Dan Graur, "the subject ...should include: composition, gene geography, size, and content, and the mechanisms involved in changing composition, gene geography, size, and content."

I. Introduction on Genome evolution

II. Composition, content, size and geography of the genome

A. Genome size

1. C-Value

2. Prokaryotes

3. Eukaryotes/paradox

III. Mechanism of genome evolution

IV. Further reading.

Add this somewhere else...

could you further explain the eukaryotic paradox? it is not exactly clear here why it is a paradox and not an oddity. Drussey (talk) 00:15, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

This can be explained by the fact that the genome is inherited as a whole, while it contains genes that must function selectively in diverse cell types. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kjspring1 (talk • contribs) 05:02, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Molecular evolution
Genome evolution is part of molecular evolution. That article is not overly long. Stuff about genome evolution should be added there until we get a length problem. Then the soulution is obvious, but not until then. --Ettrig (talk) 08:06, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
