Beschreibung
Gene duplication has long been believed to have played a major rolein the rise of biological novelty through evolution of new functionand gene expression patterns. The first book to examine geneduplication across all levels of biological organization,Evolution after Gene Duplication presents a comprehensivepicture of the mechanistic process by which gene duplication mayhave played a role in generating biodiversity.
Key Features:
* Explores comparative genomics, genome evolution studies andanalysis of multi-gene families such as Hox, globins,olfactory receptors and MHC (immune system)
* A complete post-genome treatment of the topic originallycovered by Ohno's 1970 classic, this volume extends coverageto include the fate of associated regulatory pathways
* Taps the significant increase in multi-gene family data thathas resulted from comparative genomics
* Comprehensive coverage that includes opposing theoreticalviewpoints, comparative genomics data, theoretical and empiricalevidence and the role of bioinformatics in the study of geneduplication
This up-to-date overview of theory and mathematical models alongwith practical examples is suitable for scientists across variouslevels of biology as well as instructors and graduate students.
