Transposable Elements and Evolution
Inbunden, 1993
2172 kr
Lägg i varukorg
In the summer of 1992 a group of molecular, population and evolutionary geneticists assembled on the campus of the University of Georgia in Athens, USA, to discuss the relevance of their research to the role played by transposable elements (TEs) in evolution. The meeting consisted of a series of …

Lägg i varukorg
The study of ageing has recently been transformed by the application of tools and ideas from genetics and evolution. This development began in 1980, and has since been gathering momentum. This volume collects most of the principles contributing to this new direction in ageing research. Additionally …
Human Identification: The Use of DNA Markers

The ongoing debate on the use of DNA profiles to identify perpetrators in criminal investigations or fathers in paternity disputes has too often been conducted with no regard to sound statistical, genetic or legal reasoning. The contributors to this text have considerable experience in forensic …
AIDS: Virus- or Drug Induced?

Despite enormous efforts, over 100,000 papers and over $22 billion spent by the US taxpayer alone, the HIV-AIDS hypothesis has failed to produce any public health benefits, no vaccine, no effective drug, no prevention, no cure, not a single life saved. Is the science system to be blamed? Has …
Evolution and Impact of Transposable Elements
Av Pierre Capy
Inbunden, 1998
2172 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The existence of transposable elements was implied by Barbara McClintock in the 1940s, based on genetic experiments, and verified in the 1970s by molecular biology. By the late 1990s, hundreds of elements have been detected in all living organisms and are believed to represent more than 15% of …
Mutation and Evolution
Av Ronny C. Woodruff, James N. Thompson Jr.
Inbunden, 1998
2172 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Although debated since the time of Darwin, the evolutionary role of mutation is still controversial. In over 40 chapters from leading authorities in mutation and evolutionary biology, this book takes a new look at both the theoretical and experimental measurement and significance of new mutation. …

From guppies to Galapagos finches and from adaptive landscapes to haldanes, this compilation of contributed works provides reviews, perspectives, theoretical models, statistical developments, and empirical demonstrations exploring the tempo and mode of microevolution on contemporary to geological …
Genetics of Mate Choice: From Sexual Selection to Sexual Isolation
Av W.J. Etges, M.A. Noor
Inbunden, 2003
1623 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Genetic studies aimed at understanding the origin of species are dominating major scientific journals. During the 1990s, genetic tools that were previously available only in model systems have become accessible to investigators working on nearly all species. Concurrent with these technical advances …
Origin and Evolution of New Gene Functions
Av Manyuan Long
Inbunden, 2003
1084 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This work addresses the origin and evolution of new gene functions. Although interest in evolutionary novelties can be traced back to the time of Darwin, the appreciation and systematical experimental pursuit of the origin and evolution of new gene functions did not appear until the early 1990s. …

Aging is one of those subjects that many biologists feel is largely unknown. Therefore, they often feel comfortable offering extremely facile generalizations that are either unsupported or directly refuted in the experimental literature. Despite this unfortunate precedent, aging is a very broad …
