Description
The Evolution of the Genome provides a much needed overview of genomic study through clear, detailed, expert-authored
discussions of the key areas in genome biology. This includes the evolution of genome size, genomic parasites, gene and ancient genome
duplications, polypoidy, comparative genomics, and the implications of these genome-level phenomena for evolutionary theory. In addition
to reviewing the current state of knowledge of these fields in an accessible way, the various chapters also provide historical and conceptual
background information, highlight the ways in which the critical questions are actually being studied, indicate some important areas
for future research, and build bridges across traditional professional and taxonomic boundaries.
The Evolution of the Genome
will serve as a critical resource for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and established scientists alike who are interested in
the issue of genome evolution in the broadest sense.
Audience
Graduate students and researchers interested in genomics and evolutionary biology.
