Overlapping Genes Efficient?  Amount Genetic Info Smaller Compound

Overlapping genes are efficient because the same amount of genetic information is in a smaller compound, reducing what needs to be replicated or carried.

La eficiencia de los genes superpuestos radica en que la misma cantidad de información genética se almacena en un compuesto más pequeño, lo que reduce la necesidad de replicar o transportar material genético.
