The Princeton guide to evolution
This book is a reference to the major subjects and key concepts in evolutionary biology, from genes to mass extinctions. The book contains some 100 articles on the most important topics in seven major areas: phylogenetics and the history of life; selection and adaptation; evolut…
The aim of this volume is to explain some of the biology and the computational and mathematical challenges with the modeling and simulation of biological networks. The different chapters provide examples of how these challenges are met, with particular emphasis on nontraditional…
Applied plant genomics and biotechnology reviews the recent advancements in the post-genomic era, discussing how different varieties respond to abiotic and biotic stresses, investigating epigenetic modifications and epigenetic memory through analysis of DNA methylation states, a…
This new edition addresses a series of fundamental ecological questions: the relationship between community structure and ecological function in ecosystems; how variation in life-history patterns among species can be explained from interaction between the genome and the environm…
This book is a comprehensive research guide that describes both the key new techniques and more established methods in gene identification, functional genomics and the characterization of genes and gene products.
This book covers the latest techniques that enable us to study the genome in detail, the book explores what the genome tells us about life at the level of the molecule, the cell, and the organism
This textbook gives readers both the concepts and the applications students need to know to fully grasp Molecular Biology. Clark introduces basic concepts and then follows with specific applications in research today. This book is further enhanced by its inclusion in the Acade…
Using model organisms from the three domains of life (Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya), this textbook explains the principle molecular mechanisms of DNA replication and shows how the process is linked to cell division. This approach allows the book to give insight into how genome…
Bioinformatics and data analysis in microbiology
This book provides invaluable, up-to-date and detailed information on various aspects of bioinformatics data analysis with applications to microbiology. It describes a number of different useful bioinformatics tools, makes links to some wet-lab techniques, explains different app…
This book discusses relevant principles needed to understand the theoretical underpinnings of bioinformatic analysis, and demonstrates with examples targeted analysis using freely available web-based software and publicly available databases.
The privacy concerns discussed in the 1990s in relation to the New Genetics failed to anticipate the relevant issues for individuals, families, geneticists and society. Consumers, for example, can now buy their personal genetic information and share it online. The challenges fac…
This book offers an engaging introduction to this exciting area of scientific research and technology. The text begins with a summary of current knowledge about plant genome organization and gene expression, followed by an introduction to the techniques of plant tissue culture a…
This book represents the author's effort to provide a synthesis of the exciting developments in molecular evolution in the past two decades. It describes the dynamics of evolutionary change at the molecular level, the driving forces behind the evolutionary process, novel evoluti…
Our ever-increasing knowledge of whole genome sequences is unveiling a variety of structures and mechanisms that impinge on current evolutionary theory. The origin of species, the evolution of form, and the evolutionary impact of transposable elements are just a few of the many…
