Networking slows down protein evolution, study reveals

on the heels of a paper published in the journal Nature last October in which Hirsh showed that proteins necessary for the survival of roundworms and yeast also evolve at a slower rate than nonessential proteins.

According to the authors, many of the proteins and genes included in these studies also occur in people and one day may provide insights into inherited diseases and other aspects of human genetics.

``We can answer a lot of essential evolutionary questions with yeast that apply to the human genome as well,`` Feldman noted.
