This book focuses on an emergent area in post-genomic science: The field of evolutionary genomics. Three key aspects of evolutionary genomics are covered: (1) The study of genomic history that is, understanding organismal evolution at the genomic level; (2) The study of macromolecular complements that is, understanding the evolution of the machinery that propels life (mostly proteins and RNA); and (3) The study of evolutionary aspects of systems biology that is, the evolution of macromolecular components and their interaction in the context of genomic complements. Evolutionary Genomics and Systems Biology melds concepts in bioinformatics, evolution, genomics, structural biology, and network biology and describes aspects of a complicated field that is attempting to understand the biocomplexity of the living world.Gustavo Caetano-Anollés, PhD, is Professor in the Department of Crop Sciencesat the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois. He has more than150 well-cited original research publications in areas related to DNA technology and genomics, and holds half a dozen US patents in various areas of DNA science and biotechnology. His successful book, DNA Markers: Protocols, Applications, and Overviews, was published by Wiley in 1997.
