By: Henry H. Heng
In this timely new edition, Dr. Heng fully embraces the integration of system information with genome-mediated evolutionary mechanisms, and supports this framework with recent findings and growing interdisciplinary research. Ten evidence-based chapters discuss 4D genomics, genes and genomes as distinct biological entities, genome chaos and cellular macroevolution, karyotype coding and fuzzy inheritance, as well as an entirely novel model of evolution driven by information flow, and more. Brand-new chapters consider the creation and maintenance of system information for complexity and biodiversity, as well as modes of analyzing information-based and historically contingent evolutionary frameworks. This synthesis offers a revolutionary paradigm of evolutionary theory. It also hypothesizes about how information flow, matter arrangement, and energy interact.
- Bridges basic research and clinical applications, providing a foundation for re-examining the results of large-scale -omics studies and precision medicine
- Gathers the most pressing questions in genomics, cytogenomics, and evolution
- Proposes a novel genome and information-based evolutionary theory that unites the study of physical, chemical, and biological mechanisms within organismal systems
- Contains ten evidence-based chapters that discuss karyotype coding, function of sex, natural information self-creation, and evolution as a platform for both innovation and conservation
