The evolution of the genome /

"The Evolution of the Genome provides a much needed overview of genomic study through clear, detailed, expert-authored discussions of the key areas in genome biology. This includes the evolution of genomic size, genomic parasites, gene and ancient genome duplications, polyploidy, comparative genomics, and the implications of these genome-level phenomena for evolutionary theory." "The Evolution of the Genome will serve as a critical resource for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and scientists interested in the issue of genome evolution."--BOOK JACKET.
