Pluripotent multipurpose genome

pluripotent multipurpose genome
A pluripotent multipurpose genome (PMG) is a undifferentiated, uncommited genome that is able to undergo rapid adaptation, differentiation and speciation. Sometimes referred to as 'baranome', the PMG is the genetic basis of GUToB Theory. The baranome induces variation due to reshuffling, duplication and losses of genetic information. Speciation from an MPG is common, but can only operate within the limits set by the genetic information content of the MPG. An MPG cannot form additional MPGs, because it would need the addition of novel genetic information. MPGs contain three classes of genetic elements: 1) redundant; 2) non-essential, and 3) essential.
