Adaptive evolution of cytochrome c oxidase subunit VIII in anthropoid primates.

abstract：:In earlier papers L.W. introduced two sequences of higher-rank zeta functions associated to a smooth projective curve over a finite field, both of them generalizing the Artin zeta function of the curve. One of these zeta functions is defined geometrically in terms of semistable vector bundles of rank n over the curve ...
