前言

  New data are acquired daily, and new insights into well-studied processes come on a scale measured in weeks or months rather than years. Its difficult to believe that the first complete organism genome sequence was obtained less than fifteen years ago. The structure and function of genes and genomes and their associated cellular processes are sometimes elegantly and deceptively simple but frequently amazingly complex, and no single book can do justice to the realities and diversities of natural genetic systems.  This book is aimed at advanced students in molecular genetics and molecular biology. In order to provide the most current understanding of the rapidly-changing subjects in molecular biology, we have enlisted twenty-one scientists to provide revisions and content updates in their individual fields of expertise. Their expert knowledge has been incorporated throughout the text. Much of the revision and reorganization of this edition follows that of the second edition of Lewiss Essential GENES, but there are many updates and features that are new to this book. Most notably, there are two new chapters: Chapter3 ("Methods in Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering") provides an introduction to the concepts and practice of laboratory techniques in molecular biology early on in the book, and Chapter 8 ("Genome Evolution") combines, expands, and updates material that had been scattered among various chapters in previous editions, as well as introducing a number of topics new to this book. This edition is generally up dated and reorganized for a more logical flow of topics, and many chapters have been renamed to better indicate their contents. In particular, discussion of chromatin organization and nucleosome structure now precedes the discussion of eukaryotic transcription, because chromosome organization is critical to all DNA transactions in the cell, and current research in the field of transcriptional regulation is heavily biased toward the study of the role of chromatin in this process. The discussion of transcriptional activation and chromatin remodeling has accordingly been combined into one chapter (Chapter 28). Two chapters on transposons and retroposons have been combined into one (Chapter 17). In addition, some chapters have been revised to contain extensive new material. The original intro ductory chapter on messenger RNA has been entirely rewritten to cover more advanced topics (Chapter 22, "mRNA Stability and Localization"), and the regula tory RNA chapter has been dramatically expanded to include material on RNAi pathways (Chapter 30,"Regulatory RNA"). Many new figures are included in this book, some reflecting new developments in the field, particularly in the topics of chromatin structure and function, epigenetics, and regulation by noncoding and micro RNAS in eukaryotes.

章节摘录

  Exons act as modules for building genes thaiare tried out in the course of evolution in various combinations (see Section 4.9, Some ExonCan Be Equated with Protein Functional Domains)At one extreme, an individual exon from onegene may be copied and used in another geneAt the other extreme, an entire gene, includingboth exons and introns, may be duplicated. Insuch a case, mutations can accumulate in onecopy without elimination by natural selectionas long as the other copy is under selection tcremain functional. The selectively neutral copymay then evolve to a new function, becomeexpressed at a different time or in a differenlcell type from the first copy, or become a nonfunctional pseudogene. FIGURE 8.19 summarizes our present view otthe rates at which these processes occur.  Thereis a probability that a given gene will beincluded in a duplication in a period of onemillion years. After the gene has duplicated,differences evolve as the result of the occurrence of different mutations in each copy. Theseaccumulate at a rate of -0.1% per million years(see Section 8.4, A Constant Rate of Sequence Divergence Is a Molecular Clock). If this does not happen, one of the genes is likely to become a pseudogene because it will by chance gain a deleteri ous mutation, and there will be no puri fying selection to eliminate this copy so by genetic drift the mutant version may increase in frequency and fix in the species.  Typically this takes 4 mil lion years for globin genes; in general, the time to fixation of a neutral mutant depends on the generation time and the effective population size, with genetic drift being a stronger force in smaller populations. In such a situation, it is purely a matter of chance which of the two copies becomes inactive. (This can contribute to incompatibility between different individuals, and ultimately to speciation, if different copies become inactive in different populations.) Analysis of the human genome sequenceshows that -5% of the genome comprisesduplications of identifiable segments rangingin length from 10 to 300 kb. These duplicationshave arisen relatively recently; that is, there hasnot been sufficient time for divergence betweenthem for their homology to become obscured.They include a proportional share (-6%) of theexpressed exons, which shows that the duplications are occurring more or less irrespectiveof genetic content.

很好很经典的一本书。虽然有人说基因十没有基因九系统和权威,但我觉得基因十将整本书划分成几大斑块,如基因复制与重组、转录和转录后调控机制等,让人在学习时能够更加系统的了解分子生物学各领域的基本情况。尤其让我这个刚涉足分子生物学领域的学生高兴的是基因十中专门有一章介绍分子生物学常用实验(如克隆、核酸检测、DNA测序、Blotting和基因敲除等)的基本原理。总之,这本书是分子生物学领域人士的必备参考书!
