Lateral DNA Transfer by Frederic Bushman Book PDF Summary

This book is about mobile genes—the transfer of DNA between unrelated cells. It discusses the machinery of gene transfer and its wide-ranging biological and health consequences. Mobile DNA makes possible the development of antibiotic resistance in microbes, the conversion of harmless to pathogenic bacteria, and the triggering of cancerous growth in cells. It also contributes to human evolution. This well-illustrated volume contains an up-to-date account of a topic now seen as increasingly important, and will be invaluable for both working scientists and as a textbook for advanced courses.

Encyclopedia of Astrobiology by Ricardo Amils,Muriel Gargaud,José Cernicharo Quintanilla,Henderson James Cleaves,William M. Irvine,Daniele Pinti,Michel Viso

The interdisciplinary field of Astrobiology constitutes a joint arena where provocative discoveries are coalescing concerning, e.g. the prevalence of exoplanets, the diversity and hardiness of life, and its increasingly likely chances for its emergence. Biologists, astrophysicists, biochemists, geoscientists and space scientists share this exciting mission of revealing the origin

Lateral Gene Transfer in Evolution

Lateral Gene Transfer in Evolution by Uri Gophna

Although the phenomenon of lateral gene transfer has been known since the 1940's, it was the genomics era that has really revealed the extent and many facets of this evolutionary/genetic phenomenon. Even in the early 2000s with but a handful of genomes available it became clear that the nature

Size Limits of Very Small Microorganisms

Size Limits of Very Small Microorganisms by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Space Studies Board,Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Applications,Steering Group for the Workshop on Size Limits of Very Small Microorganisms

How small can a free-living organism be? On the surface, this question is straightforward-in principle, the smallest cells can be identified and measured. But understanding what factors determine this lower limit, and addressing the host of other questions that follow on from this knowledge, require a fundamental understanding of the

Horizontal Gene Transfer

Horizontal Gene Transfer by Michael Syvanen,Clarence I. Kado

Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genetic material between distinct species, a process that plays a major role in the evolution of the genome. Evidence for the transfer of genes singly and in modular groups between lower and higher organisms (including humans) has been mounting. The second edition of

Horizontal Gene Transfer

Horizontal Gene Transfer by Tomás G. Villa,Miguel Viñas

The book focuses on the evolutionary impact of horizontal gene transfer processes on pathogenicity, environmental adaptation and biological speciation. Newly acquired genetic material has been considered as a driving force in evolution for prokaryotic genomes for many years, with recent technical developments advancing this field further. However, the extent and
