Features: With the rapid development of genome research technologies, we have accumulated vast amounts of genomic data, and even more massive genomic data will be generated in the future. How to interpret this massive data and understand the essence of life has become a significant challenge in this post-genomic era. Comparative method-based evolutionary genomics research undoubtedly becomes a highly effective means to interpret this massive data. However, there has always been a lack of a comprehensive description of the history, current status, and future of genomic evolution research, and its research content remains somewhat ambiguous. This book, by inviting renowned scholars in related fields, including Academy of SciencesMargaret Kidwell and molecular evolutionist Sudhir Kumar from the University of Arizona, explores the relationship between genomic evolution and important biological questions, as well as the patterns and mechanisms of genomic structure and functional evolution through comparative genomics research. When designing this book, the authors fully considered providing a panoramic introduction to genomic evolution research, organizing and summarizing historical and fundamental concepts, reviewing and listing literature from each period in various fields, and offering summaries and outlooks on related fields at the end of each chapter. This approach makes the book relatively easy to understand, accessible to anyone with basic biological knowledge. It is particularly suitable for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers who wish to learn about or enter the field of evolutionary genomics. At the same time, it will also serve as an excellent reference for professional researchers in the field of genomics.
