Figure 2

A population-level view. If mutational writing is a biological process, then information flows over the generations from many ancestral combinations into each descendant, and from many loci into each of many single loci, forming a network of information flow across the genome over time. Mutational writing events are shown for the sake of demonstration in three individuals (two parents and an offspring, large boxes), but occur also in other genes and other individuals (to avoid clutter, only one writing event per individual is shown).
