Fontdevila Antonio. The Dynamic Genome: A Darwinian Approach
Oxford University Press. 2011. 248 pages
В последние годы были сделаны выдающиеся открытия в области изучения геномов. Многие из них оказали сильнейшее влияние на состояние современной теории эволюции. Происхождение видов, эволюция формы живых организмов, роль мобильных элементов – это лишь небольшой перечень проблем, в решение которых были внесены революционные изменения с помощью геномных исследований. Все эти вопросы, а также многие другие рассматриваются в данной книге. В контексте дарвиновской теории эволюции поднимаются такие спорные вопросы как преобладание некодирующей ДНК в геноме человека, долгосрочная адаптивная роль так называемой «эгоистичной ДНК», индивидуальные отличия на уровне геномов и другие. В намерение автора входит показать, что хотя геномика направлена на выявление новых, ранее даже непредвиденных механизмов и источников изменчивости, которые должны быть учтены в современной теории эволюции, однако нет никаких оснований для отказа от роли естественного отбора. Потенциал генома открывает новые возможности (а также ограничения) для эволюции, но реализация этого потенциала зависит от естественного отбора.

InTech. 2011. 412 p. The book Gene Duplication consists of 21 chapters divided in 3 parts: General Aspects, A Look at Some Gene Families and Examining Bundles of Genes. The importance of the study of Gene Duplication stems from the realization that the dynamic process of duplication is the "sine qua non" underlying the evolution of all living matter. Genes may be altered before or after the duplication process thereby undergoing neofunctionaliza...
