{"product_id":"9783319804163","title":"Evolutionary Bioinformatics","description":"\u003ch1\u003eEvolutionary Bioinformatics\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eForsdyke, Donald R.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow in its third edition and\n supplemented with more online material, this book aims to make the \n\"new\" information-based (rather than gene-based) bioinformatics \nintelligible\n both to the \"bio\" people and the \"info\" people. Books on bioinformatics\n have traditionally served gene-hunters, and biologists who wish to \nconstruct family trees showing tidy lines of descent. While dealing \nextensively with the exciting topics of gene discovery\n and database-searching, such books have hardly considered genomes as \ninformation channels through which multiple forms and levels of \ninformation have passed through the generations. This “new \nbioinformatics” contrasts with the \"old\" gene-based bioinformatics\n that so preoccupies previous texts. Forms of information that we are \nfamiliar with (mental, textual) are related to forms with which we are \nless familiar (hereditary). The book extends a line of evolutionary \nthought that leads from the nineteenth century (Darwin,\n Butler, Romanes, Bateson), through the twentieth (Goldschmidt, White), \nand into the twenty first (the final works of the late Stephen Jay \nGould). Long an area of controversy, diverging views may now be \nreconciled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-05-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319804163\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-28755-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 471.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44395042275468,"sku":"9783319804163","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319804163.jpg?v=1763651885","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319804163","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
