Description

"This book provides an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms and biological consequences of genome rearrangements in bacteria. Each chapter examines the mechanisms involved in genome rearrangements and the direct biological consequences of these events. Because genome rearrangements are so important in evolution, at least one of the chapters views the phenomenon from an evolutionary angle. This book provides the reader with a holistic view of genome rearrangements (i.e., studies on both the biological consequences of genome rearrangement and the mechanisms underlying these processes are presented)." "The book is written by leading research workers in the field and is aimed at final-year undergraduates, postgraduate and postdoctoral workers, and established biologists."--BOOK JACKET.
