About this book

It is believed that the first living creatures possessed a limited amount of genetic information, and that information was increased and modified by processes of gene duplication and modification. therefore, the genes present in modern organisma, and proteins coded by such genes, also share a common evolutionary origin. This book discusses the issues involved in this research field.
