The linear complexity means that larger haplotype sets ... low so that whole chromosomes can be phased at once. Third, the graph representation of the space of possible haplotypes for a genotype ...

The jumps -- saltations, in complexity parlance -- appear to be non-linear emergent phenomena, the result of networked interactions that produce self-organization at ever higher levels.

Linear regression of genetic complexity on a log scale extrapolated back to just one base pair suggests the time of the origin of life 9.7 billion years ago. This cosmic time scale for the ...
