In the years since the publication of Susumu Ohno's 1970
landmark book Evolution by gene duplication tremendous advances
have been made in molecular biology and especially in genomics.
Studies of genome structure and function prerequisite to testing
hypotheses of genome evolution were all but impossible until recent
methodological advances.
This book evaluates newly generated empirical evidence as it
pertains to theories of genomic evolutionary patterns and
processes. Tests of hypotheses using analyses of complete genomes,
interpreted in a phylogenetic context, provide evidence regarding
the relative importance of gene duplication. The alternative
explanation is that the evolution of regulatory elements that
control the expression of and interactions among genes has been a
more important force in shaping evolutionary innovation.
This collection of papers will be of interest to all academic
and industry researchers working in the fields of molecular
biology, biotechnology, genomics and genome centers.
