Author Description
The dramatic increase in information and understanding of gene sequences and functions provides the material for this new series of annual publications. Each volume will present the work of ten to fifteen distinguished contriutors. Each article will be devoted to an individual gene in a single organism, to a homologous gene sequence in many organisms, to a gene family within an organism, or to a comparison of different sequences in the same or different organisms. An important new resource for geneticists and other biologists.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This volume investigates the rapid expansion of knowledge regarding gene sequences and their functional roles within eukaryotic organisms. Norman Maclean, an established editor in the biological sciences, compiles contributions from fifteen distinguished researchers to synthesize complex genetic data. The text serves as a foundational reference, providing a structured framework for understanding individual gene behavior, homologous sequences, and gene families across diverse biological systems.
THE SCOPE MAP
What You Will Find
- Detailed analyses of individual gene functions in specific organisms
- Comparative studies of homologous gene sequences across multiple species
- Examination of gene families within single organisms
- Methodological approaches to sequence comparison and genetic mapping
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
Experts recognize this volume as a significant resource for geneticists and biologists seeking to track the rapid developments in molecular biology during the 1980s. Readers frequently note the technical density of the prose, which is intended for a professional scientific audience.
