Nucleic acids, the molecules responsible for the storage and transmission of genetic information, can reveal the beguiling history of the evolution of life on earth. In this paper, the molecular mechanisms underlying the evolutionary processes are illustrated together with the methods for the reconstruction of their history.

Abstract
Nucleic acids, the molecules responsible for the storage and transmission of genetic information, can reveal the beguiling history of the evolution of life on earth. In this paper, the molecular mechanisms underlying the evolutionary processes are illustrated together with the methods for the reconstruction of their history. The new technologies and the development of genetic engineering suggest future scenarios for the evolutionary process in relation to environmental phenomena.File in questo prodotto:
