Evolution after Gene Duplication
Evolution after Gene Duplication by Katharina Dittmar, published by Wiley on October 12, 2010, is a comprehensive examination of gene duplication and its significant role in biological evolution. This 360-page book presents a detailed analysis of how gene duplication contributes to the emergence of new functions and gene expression patterns, offering insights across various levels of biological organization.
Readers will find an exploration of comparative genomics, genome evolution studies, and multi-gene families, including Hox genes and olfactory receptors. The book provides a thorough post-genome treatment of the subject, extending the discussion initiated by Ohno’s 1970 classic, and incorporates a variety of theoretical viewpoints, empirical evidence, and bioinformatics applications. This edition serves as a valuable resource for scientists, instructors, and graduate students interested in genetics, genomics, and the broader implications of gene duplication in biodiversity.
Official synopsis Publisher
Gene duplication has long been believed to have played a major role in the rise of biological novelty through evolution of new function and gene expression patterns. The first book to examine gene duplication across all levels of biological organization, Evolution after Gene Duplication presents a comprehensive picture of the mechanistic process by which gene duplication may have played a role in generating biodiversity.
Key Features:
- Explores comparative genomics, genome evolution studies and analysis of multi-gene families such as Hox, globins, olfactory receptors and MHC (immune system)
- A complete post-genome treatment of the topic originally covered by Ohno’s 1970 classic, this volume extends coverage to include the fate of associated regulatory pathways
- Taps the significant increase in multi-gene family data that has resulted from comparative genomics
- Comprehensive coverage that includes opposing theoretical viewpoints, comparative genomics data, theoretical and empirical evidence and the role of bioinformatics in the study of gene duplication
This up-to-date overview of theory and mathematical models along with practical examples is suitable for scientists across various levels of biology as well as instructors and graduate students.
