Towards a modern view of the dynamic genome. Comment on 'How life changes itself: The Read-Write (RW) genome' by James Shapiro.

摘要

Jim Shapiro forcefully points out in his article [1] that we have come a long way in our understanding of the dynamics of genomics since the DNA structure was announced and the enunciation of The Central Dogma of molecular biology was proclaimed. This highly condensed article is deeply elaborated in Shapiro’s excellent book “Evolution: A view from the 21st century” [2] which fittingly can be purchased as a 21st Century Kindle version, and which I highly recommend reading on your Kindle or tablet. Many of the important points he raises are clarified in his book.
