Bringing the related areas of molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and genomics together in one volume, this text facilitates comprehension of evolutionary processes. Topics covered include the history of the study of evolution; the evolution of organisms on Earth; basic structures of DNA, RNA, proteins, and other biological molecules; and DNA replication, mutation, and repair. The book also explores multigene families and phylogenetic analysis. It discusses how researchers use the raw sequence data to reconstruct portions of evolutionary processes and provides details of the genomes of a variety of organisms.
