Genes in conflict: the biology of selfish genetic elements / Burt, A. ; Trivers, R. (2006)

Public ISBD Titre : Genes in conflict: the biology of selfish genetic elements Type de document : livre Auteurs : Burt, A. ; Trivers, R. Editeur : Cambridge : Belknap Press of Harvard University Press Année de publication : 2006 Importance : 602 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-674-01713-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Evolution  Genes  Genetics Résumé : In evolution, most genes survive and spread within populations because they increase the ability of their hosts (or their close relatives) to survive and reproduce. But some genes spread in spite of being harmful to the host organism--by distorting their own transmission to the next generation, or by changing how the host behaves toward relatives. As a consequence, different genes in a single organism can have diametrically opposed interests and adaptations. Covering all species from yeast to humans, Genes in Conflict is the first book to tell the story of selfish genetic elements, those continually appearing stretches of DNA that act narrowly to advance their own replication at the expense of the larger organism. As Austin Burt and Robert Trivers show, these selfish genes are a universal feature of life with pervasive effects, including numerous counter-adaptations. Their spread has created a whole world of socio-genetic interactions within individuals, usually completely hidden from sight. Genes in Conflict introduces the subject of selfish genetic elements in all its aspects, from molecular and genetic to behavioral and evolutionary. Burt and Trivers give us access for the first time to a crucial area of research--now developing at an explosive rate--that is cohering as a unitary whole, with its own logic and interconnected questions, a subject certain to be of enduring importance to our understanding of genetics and evolution.

Nature via nurture: genes, experience, and what makes us human / Mark Ridley (2008)  

Public ISBD Titre : Nature via nurture: genes, experience, and what makes us human Type de document : livre Auteurs : Mark Ridley Mention d'édition : 01 éd. Editeur : New York : HarperCollins Année de publication : 2008 Importance : 326 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-06-000678-5 Note générale : Inventaire 2008: Pointé en rayon le 20/05/2008 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Genes  Genetics Résumé : Following his highly praised and bestselling book Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters, Matt Ridley has written a brilliant and profound book about the roots of human behavior. Nature via Nurture explores the complex and endlessly intriguing question of what makes us who we are. In February 2001 it was announced that the human genome contains not 100,000 genes, as originally postulated, but only 30,000. This startling revision led some scientists to conclude that there are simply not enough human genes to account for all the different ways people behave: we must be made by nurture, not nature. Yet again biology was to be stretched on the Procrustean bed of the nature-nurture debate. Matt Ridley argues that the emerging truth is far more interesting than this myth. Nurture depends on genes, too, and genes need nurture. Genes not only predetermine the broad structure of the brain, they also absorb formative experiences, react to social cues, and even run memory. They are consequences as well as causes of the will. Published fifty years after the discovery of the double helix of DNA, Nature via Nurture chronicles a revolution in our understanding of genes. Ridley recounts the hundred years' war between the partisans of nature and nurture to explain how this paradoxical creature, the human being, can be simultaneously free-willed and motivated by instinct and culture. Nature via Nurture is an enthralling,up-to-the-minute account of how genes build brains to absorb experience.

The origins of genome architecture / Lynch, M. (2007)

Public ISBD Titre : The origins of genome architecture Type de document : livre Auteurs : Lynch, M. Editeur : Sunderland, Massachusetts : Sinauer Associates Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 494 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-87893-484-3 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Eucaryotic cells  Genes  Genomes Résumé : With official genomic blueprints now available for hundreds of species, and thousands more expected in the near future, the field of biology has been forever transformed. Such readily accessible data have encouraged the proliferation of adaptive arguments for the evolution of gene and genomic features, often with little or no attention being given to simpler and more powerful alternative explanations. By integrating the central observations from molecular biology and population genetics relevant to comparative genomics, Lynch shows why the details matter. Presented in a nontechnical fashion, at both the population-genetic and molecular-genetic levels, this book offers a unifying explanatory framework for how the peculiar architectural diversity of eukaryotic genomes and genes came to arise. Under Lynch's hypothesis, the genome-wide repatterning of eukaryotic gene structure, which resulted primarily from nonadaptive processes, provided an entirely novel resource from which natural selection could secondarily build new forms of organismal complexity.
