Molecular approaches to evolution /

Show other versions (1)

Jacques Ninio addresses molecular biology from the evolutionist's viewpoint, reviewing major research areas such as acquisitive evolution; the comparison of protein structures in three dimensions; the stability of the genetic code; and prebiotic replication. Originally published in 1983. The Pr...
