Notes:
[Auszug] Hurst et al. and, earlier, McDonald confirm the pattern of amino-acid gain and loss that we report. However, they attribute this pattern to properties of the mutation-selection equilibrium, arguing that gainer amino acids are more common than losers among weakly deleterious, rare ...
