Gene Duplication
Edited by Felix Friedberg, ISBN 978-953-307-387-3, Hard cover, 400 pages, Publisher: InTech, Published: October 21, 2011 under CC BY 3.0 license, in subject Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology
DOI: 10.5772/888
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 neofunctionalization, thus creating in time new organisms which populate the Earth.
