Gene orders
Encyclopedia
Gene orders is the permutation of genome
arrangement. So far a fair amount of work trying to describe whether gene
orders evolve according to a molecular clock (molecular clock hypothesis) or in jumps (punctuated equilibrium
).
Some researches on Gene orders of animals' mitochondrial gomone reveal that the mutation rate of gene orders is not a constant in some degrees.
Genome
In modern molecular biology and genetics, the genome is the entirety of an organism's hereditary information. It is encoded either in DNA or, for many types of virus, in RNA. The genome includes both the genes and the non-coding sequences of the DNA/RNA....

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

Punctuated equilibrium
Punctuated equilibrium is a theory in evolutionary biology which proposes that most species will exhibit little net evolutionary change for most of their geological history, remaining in an extended state called stasis...
