Complex Systems is a journal devoted to the science, mathematics and engineering of systems with simple components but complex overall behavior. It is concerned with identifying and characterizing common design elements that are observed across diverse natural, technological and social complex systems.
Recent evidence indicates that the immunoglobulin (IG) gene loci reside within the most complex and variable regions of the human genome, characterized by elevated levels of single nucleotide...
