A Brief EGI Question

To consider.

I have argued that non-functional genes as well as functional genes constitute a genetic interest.  However, since functional genes influence their own replication, they can be considered to be, on a “per capita” basis, of greater interest.  If this is so, are dominantly expressed genes of greater interest than recessive?  Or is this opposite true, at least if certain recessive traits are more valuable in terms of adaptive fitness, not only for the alleles that encode them but for the entire distinctive genome?
