Description

This volume examines the processes that govern genetic change. It captures the synthetic nature of molecular evolution and underscores the problems and recent research efforts made in the field. There are exciting discussions on the rates and processes that govern the evolution of genes and gene families, with special attention given to the evolution of immune system genes. It also covers the evolution of genomes, broken down into four broad categories: plant organelle genomes; the processes that govern transposon evolution; molecular diversity within the species and molecular adaptations in natural populations.
