Springer Verlag, Singapore Sequence-Specific DNA Binders for the Therapy of
Book SynopsisThis book describes the author’s work on the development of sequence-specific DNA binders for the therapy of mitochondrial diseases. In the first chapter, the author provides a detailed background of pyrrole–imidazole polyamides (PIPs) and mitochondrial disease research followed by chapters presenting the author's own research and discoveries. Firstly, the developed compounds called MITO-PIPs, which recognize specific sequences in mitochondrial DNA, are presented. The following chapter demonstrates how, by introducing a DNA alkylating reagent into a MITO-PIP that recognizes the adjacent sequence to a target mutation, the copy number of mutated mitochondrial DNA was successfully reduced in live cells. Furthermore, because nuclear DNA is another important target for treating mitochondrial diseases, the author demonstrated that tri-arginine vectors can enhance nuclear uptake of PIPs and improve their biological activity in cells.This work will attract readers’ interest because it paves the way for a transgene-free chemical gene therapy for mitochondrial diseases. The book includes a detailed description of experimental procedures, especially compound synthesis. This description helps readers to have a clear image of the author’s studies and to perform similar and extended studies themselves.Table of ContentsGeneral Introduction.- Creation of Synthetic Ligand for Mitochondrial DNA sequence Recognition and Promoter-Specific Transcription Suppression.- Allele-Specific Replication Inhibition of Mitochondrial DNA by MITO-PIP Conjugated with Alkylation Reagent.- Enhanced Nuclear Accumulation of Pyrrole–Imidazole Polyamides by Incorporation of the Tri-arginine Vector.

Springer Verlag, Singapore The Life History of the Parental Shield Bug,
Book SynopsisThis book presents the discoveries made during nearly three decades of research on the parental shield bug, Parastrachia japonensis inhabiting Kyushu Island, Japan. P. japonensis has evolved a unique and fascinating life history, characterized by extreme behavioral and physiological adaptations that have culminated in a singularly dependent relationship with its lone host tree, Schoepfia jasminodora (Olacaceae), which is a generally scarce and unreliable resource. It is expected that the evolution of parental care behaviors in the strictly semelparous P. japonensis was more directly influenced by the benefit to females that arises from enhanced survivorship of current offspring, rather than any possible cost the females might incur in terms of reduced future reproductive success, because no future reproduction is possible. The authors explain how the different parental cares in this species enhance offspring survivorship in the context of the ecological conditions it has experienced over evolutionary time. The book begins with a recap of the earliest studies, the reports through 1991, and then introduces the many fascinating aspects of the life history, neurobiology, physiology and behavior of P. japonensis that have been newly discovered since, and those aspects that have been confirmed through experimentation over the past thirty years. This comprehensive review of information will be useful for comparative studies of parental care in other semelparous and iteroparous organisms experiencing both similar and different ecological constraints. The book will be of academic interest to undergraduate and graduate students of entomology, zoology, behavior, and behavioral ecology.Table of Contents

Antoni Bosch Editor, S.A. Quiénes somos y cómo llegamos hasta aquí: ADN
Book SynopsisLa extracción de ADN de los huesos de nuestros ancestros ha permitido resolver importantes controversias sobre la prehistoria, hasta el punto de cambiar su interpretación. Hoy en día puede extraerse y analizarse ADN antiguo y, en buena medida gracias a las aportaciones del propio David Reich, se ha puesto de manifiesto que la genómica es tan relevante como la arqueología o la lingüística a la hora de estudiar las poblaciones del pasado. En Quiénes somos y cómo hemos llegado hasta aquí, Reich nos enseña que el genoma humano, además de aportar toda la información que necesita un óvulo humano fertilizado para desarrollarse, contiene en sí mismo la historia de nuestra especie. La revolución de la genómica y del ADN antiguo está transformando lo que sabemos sobre el linaje de los humanos y, según nos explica Reich, los estudios de ADN revelan una larga historia de desigualdad entre poblaciones distintas, así como entre ambos sexos y entre individuos de una misma población. Esta obra desmiente la interpretación ortodoxa de que no hay diferencias biológicas relevantes entre poblaciones humanas y, al mismo tiempo, utiliza los sólidos datos de la genómica para ilustrar la improbabilidad de que las diferencias, que sí existen, se correspondan con los estereotipos de siempre.

Oxford University Press Ancestors in Our Genome
Book SynopsisThe complete DNA molecules comprising the human genome were deciphered two decades ago. With this discovery began a remarkable genomic voyage back in time yielding a new science of human evolution. We are just beginning to unravel our full genomic history and answering age-old questions about how and when we evolved. For the first time, we are finding our ancestors in our genome and gleaning tantalizing clues about our past. Molecular anthropologist Eugene E. Harris now gives us an updated and expanded version of the original Ancestors in Our Genome. Written from the perspective of population genetics, and in simple terms, his book traces human origins back to our earliest human ancestors and explains how our genome has adapted as we spread to colonize new regions on Earth. Harris''s book reveals the latest insights into our relationships with our extinct cousins, the Neandertals and Denisovans, and describes where, when and to what extent we mated with them, probing the good and bad cTrade ReviewShortlisted for the 2015 Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science.[Harris] has written an excellent analysis of modern human evolution from a molecular evolution perspective. [...] This is the best book I've ever read on the subject of random genetic drift. * Larry Moran, Professor Emeritus, Department of Biochemistry at the University of Toronto *Simply indispensable for any reader wishing to learn about the latest research on human origins." -Library Journal, starred reviewThe book is technical, thus challenging for the general reader, but is written well enough to make the effort worthwhile. * Publisher's Weekly *Ancestors in Our Genome tells the amazing story of human evolution as it has been revealed by the study of our DNA. Eugene Harris, a rare anthropologist who has studied the differences in the DNA of humans and other primates, has written a superb book about the latest discoveries comparing the DNA genomes of apes and humans-both living and fossilized . . . An enjoyable and wonderfully enlightening read. * Jody Hey, Professor and Director, Center for Computational Genomics and Genetics, Temple University and author of Genes, Categories, and Species *In a lucid and engaging style, Eugene Harris delivers a clear account of the latest insights in genomic studies that are giving humans a more comprehensive understanding of our evolutionary history, our place in nature, and where we may be headed. * Donald Johanson, Virginia M. Ullman Chair in Human Origins and Founding Director of the Institute of Human Origins, Arizona State University *It is a daunting and confusing task to make sense of the avalanche of genetic information that has recently become available. Fortunately, Harris's book is a concise and engaging explanation of what we have learned about human evolution from studying genomes. Harris clearly explains without jargon the basics of genetics and genomics, how and when humans evolved, and what about our genes make us different from our closest living and extinct relatives. * Daniel Lieberman, Chair, Department of Human Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University and author of The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health, and Disease *In the 'Age of Genomics,' this book is an absolute must-have for anyone interested in human evolution. In the most accessible manner, Eugene E. Harris enlightens how and why genomes represent such powerful evidence to understand our past. If you want to know why paleontologists and geneticists fight over evolutionary trees, whether chimpanzees and primitive hominins interbred after they split, how large the first human population was, or how in modern humans bad genes could become good genes, open Ancestors in Our Genome. * Jean-Jacques Hublin, Director, Department of Human Evolution, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology *Written in a very clear and easy to follow style, Ancestors in Our Genome is notable for its inclusion of really up-to-date research. For the uninitiated, it's a great guide to the whole subject area. If you already have some knowledge, it delivers important insights on the latest findings. * Evan Hadingham, Senior Science Editor at NOVA WGBH *Eugene Harris' Ancestors in Our Genome is an extremely clear and readable introduction to the studies of genetics and genomics that are advancing our understanding of our evolutionary history. He describes, in clear prose, both the most recent discoveries in primate phylogeny and human evolution and the methods underlying them. Most significantly, he emphasizes how studies of population genetics and genomic sequencing interact in interpretations of primate and human genetic evolution. * John G. Fleagle, Evolutionary Anthropology *Ancestors in Our Genome provides a good basic view of modern human evolutionary biology. Recommended. * Choice *One of the book's laudable features is its accuracy. Errors are common in popular science books, but not this one. Harris cites some of the most pertinent research on the molecular foundations of human evolution, and he is invariably true to the original research. ... Though the effort to read this book may be considerable for those not familiar with genomic science, it is well worth it. Readers will come away from it with a powerful and up-to-date understanding of human evolution and of evolution in general. * Reports of the National Center for Science Education *...readers looking for an up-to-date, clearly written, and well-illustrated tour through the dynamics of human evolution will find no better guide than this compelling volume. * Bioscience *...a good overview of the state of the science regarding the genomics of human evolution. * The Scientist *All in all, the book shines when it discuses the recent technological advances in DNA sequencing, which allows readers a never-before-seen view into our genetic history. ...if you are interested in learning about the most recent findings in population genetics and human origins, then this book is a great start. * The Daily of the University of Washington *Harris gives us glimpses of the science behind these amazing discoveries of our ancestors. He explains the basics for non-biologists before diving deep into human genomics and population genetics. He unobtrusively notes his involvement in the work. The writing is always clean and light in spite of the tough concepts and jargon. The result is an incredible story of what genes and genomes can tell us about our distant past and our current condition. * The Key Reporter *[A]ccessible, informative, and entertaining. ... Ancestors in Our Genome is impressively thorough and current and will be a great resource to anyone interested in understanding how population genomic theory has been used to test fundamental hypotheses concerning the origins of our species. * American Journal of Human Biology *[O]n the whole this is a substantive, engaging, and worthwhile introduction to molecular anthropology for educated nonexperts. * Quarterly Review of Biology *

Oxford University Press A Passion for DNA
Book SynopsisIn 1953, two young, unknown scientists sparked a worldwide revolution. Studying DNA for clues to the nature of genes, James Watson and Francis Crick deduced its molecular composition - two chains twisted into a double helix - and immediately realized that the structure implied how genes were copied and passed from one generation to the next.Their observation has had extraordinary consequences: the discovery of a genetic code that all living things share and the realization that the code translates into proteins; the ability to alter an organism''s genetic make-up; recognition that diseases like cancer begin when genes go wrong; the foundations of a biotechnology industry and the means of cloning plants and animals; a start on cataloguing human genes; and the glimmer of a new kind of medicine that uses DNA therapeutically.In the midst of the ferment, its instigator Jim Watson has been tireless.

Oxford University Press ENVIRONMENTAL DNA C For Biodiversity Research and
Book SynopsisEnvironmental DNA (eDNA) refers to DNA that can be extracted from environmental samples (such as soil, water, feces, or air) without the prior isolation of any target organism. The analysis of environmental DNA has the potential of providing high-throughput information on taxa and functional genes in a given environment, and is easily amenable to the study of both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. It can provide an understanding of past or present biological communities as well as their trophic relationships, and can thus offer useful insights into ecosystem functioning. There is now a rapidly-growing interest amongst biologists in applying analysis of environmental DNA to their own research. However, good practices and protocols dealing with environmental DNA are currently widely dispersed across numerous papers, with many of them presenting only preliminary results and using a diversity of methods. In this context, the principal objective of this practical handbook is to provide biTrade ReviewThis volume fills a much-needed gap, offering a gentle introduction into the field of environmental DNA, which will be especially useful for readers of minor to intermediate experience with environmental DNA. * Vasco Elbrecht, Centre for Biodiversity Genomics, University of Guelph, The Quarterly Review of Biology *An excellent instructional book or supplementary reading for any eDNA based classes...It is a timely and important addition to the field of molecular ecology, and will undoubtedly remain the go-to book on metabarcoding for several years. * Dr Anthony A. Charlton, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, Molecular Ecology *This book is a timely overview of eDNA as a complimentary and non-invasive approach for investigating and monitoring biodiversity. The book is an ideal introduction to all ecologists looking to eDNA, but also speaks to the more experienced researchers in molecular ecology. Lastly, it provides textbook material for university courses around the world. * Philip Francis Thomsen, Trends in Ecology & Evolution Journal *If you are contemplating moving into this topic, or just want to understand it better, do try and get your hands on a copy - something that might not be that easy just now as I understand the book has proved to be so popular that it is already having to be reprinted. * IMA FUNGUS *In a world faced with accelerating environmental change and loss of biodiversity, this book is a timely overview of eDNA as a complementary and noninvasive approach for investigating and monitoring biodiversity ... an ideal introduction to all ecologists looking to eDNA as a method of choice, but also speaks to the more experienced researchers in molecular ecology.
