Infos

The present book is a rare example of a study that should attract the attention of biologists and breeders of various fields. The authors summarize their own long-term studies of distant hybridization of animals and data from other researchers of evolution and speciation. The book is unique in that the consequences of interspecies hybridization are described both at the morphological and molecular levels. The presented data from genomic studies of various groups of animals, as well as humans, convincingly show that species exchange and have exchanged genetic information throughout their entire existence. It becomes obvious that this process must be taken into account both in agriculture during selection and in the study of the genomes of all organisms inhabiting the Earth. Due to the broad coverage of the problem and fairly simple presentation, the book will be useful to biologists of all fields and specialties, from field zoologists to researchers of the structure and expression of eukaryotic genomes. This book not only reflects the profound insights of the authors but also serves as a vital resource which will continue to inspire and guide new research efforts in these ever-evolving fields.

Autor

Michael B. Evgen'ev is Professor of Biology, and Head of the Laboratory of Molecular Adaptation in the Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) in Moscow, Russia. He made his name in science as a specialist in Drosophila transposable elements behaviour and the role of heat shock proteins in adaptation. He worked for more than ten years in the USA as a Visiting Professor in several Universities. Evgen'ev is the author of about two hundred scientific papers and two books.Sergei Yu. Funikov is a specialist in molecular biology and bioinformatics with over 14 years of experience. Having earned his Master of Science in Biology at Chernyshevsky Saratov State University, Russia, in 2008, he now works as a Senior Researcher, PhD, in IMB. His research interests include the evolution of mechanisms regulating the activity of transposable elements, molecular evolution of heterochromatin and the role of cis- and trans-regulatory factors in gene adaptation to heterochromatin.
