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 pathwaysTaps the significant increase in multi-gene
family data that has resulted from comparative
genomicsComprehensive 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.
