REDUCTIVE MODE. “Many if not most major evolving lineages appear to spend much more time in the reductive mode than in the complexification mode. The two regimes seem to differ also qualitatively in that genome reduction seems to occur more or less gradually, in a roughly clock-like manner, whereas genome complexification appears to occur in bursts accompanying evolutionary transitions.”
