Function and Evolution of Repeated DNA Sequences 1st Edition

Function and Evolution of Repeated DNA Sequences — 1st Edition by Guy‑Franck Richard

Unlock the hidden logic of genomes with this authoritative exploration of repeated DNA sequences. Combining rigorous scholarship with clear, engaging prose, Guy‑Franck Richard offers a definitive account of how repetitive elements shape genomes, influence gene regulation, and drive evolutionary change.

Delving into satellite DNA, transposable elements, tandem repeats, and microsatellites, this book bridges molecular detail and evolutionary perspective. Readers will find up‑to‑date discussions on genomic organization, mechanisms of repeat expansion and contraction, comparative genomics approaches, and the role of repeats in adaptation and disease. Carefully structured chapters guide you from foundational concepts to advanced analyses, making complex ideas accessible without sacrificing scientific depth.

Ideal for graduate students, researchers, and instructors in molecular genetics, genomics, and evolutionary biology, the text also serves policymakers and biotech professionals seeking insight into genome dynamics. Case studies and comparative examples span species and continents, reflecting the global relevance of repetitive DNA research for biodiversity studies and medical genetics.

Clear figures, concise summaries, and practical perspectives on experimental and computational methods help translate theory into practice. Whether you’re building a course syllabus, planning a research project, or expanding your reference library, this first edition is an essential resource.
