The Human Genome Project is soon expected to yield the entire sequence of the human genome, providing an unparalleled opportunity to understand its structure, function and evolution. Human Gene Evolution bring together the highly dispersed literature on human gene structure, function, organization and expression, integrates this with our emerging knowledge of chromosome and genome structure, and discusses the nature of the mutational mechanisms that underlie evolutionary change.A companion volume to the best-selling Human Gene Mutation by the same author, a central theme to this book is that mutations in human gene pathology and evolution represent two sides to the same coin, in that those same mutational mechanisms that have been frequently implicated in human pathology have also been involved in fashioning evolutionary change.ISBN - 9788131201718
