Betran's Lab - http://www3.uta.edu/faculty/betran/
Research and publications on the origin of new genes, new functions, and their role in genome evolution, adaptation, and species differences.

Debashish Bhattacharya Lab - http://www.biology.uiowa.edu/debweb/
The Bhattacharya Lab at the University of Iowa studies the molecular evolution of algae and protists and the origin of introns. The site provides information on current major research projects, completed projects and lab members.

ExPASy Life Science Directory - http://www.expasy.org/links.html
Part of the ExPASy Molecular Biology Server, this extensive list includes almost exclusively pointers to information sources for life scientists with an interest in biological macromolecules.

Farside Research Institute - http://imbs.massey.ac.nz/Research/MolEvol/Farside/welcome.htm
The evolution group of the Institute of Molecular BioSciences at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand.

Furies in the Genome - http://hometown.aol.com/roberthamiltonr/myhomepage/newsletter.html
Information on a book by Robert Hamilton on the theme that genetic variation and Darwinian selection are simultaneous and have the same cause, competition in the struggle for existence.

History of Molecular Evolution - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_molecular_evolution
Information from Wikipedia on the emergence of this field of study following the rise of molecular biology and the advent of protein sequencing. The differences between homologous sequences can be used as a molecular clock to estimate the time since the last common ancestor.

How Molecular Biology Opens up a 21st Century View of Evolution - http://www.iscid.org/james-shapiro-chat.php
Transcript of chat with biochemist James Shapiro of the University of Chicago on his concept of "natural genetic engineering" at the cellular level.

Joseph Felsenstein - http://www.gs.washington.edu/faculty/felsenstein.htm
Profile of Joseph Felsenstein, Professor of Genome Sciences and of Biology at the University of Washington, providing his areas of research and publications.

Molecular Evolution - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_evolution
Information from Wikipedia on this scientific field where researchers seek to understand recent discoveries on the structure and function of nucleic acids and proteins.

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution - http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/622921/description
Journal providing a forum for molecular studies that advance the understanding of phylogeny and evolution. Provides information on the journal and subscriptions.

Perspectives on Molecular Evolution - http://mendel.dartmouth.edu/molevol/
Site devoted to recounting, documenting, and analyzing the history of molecular evolutionary biology.

Research Homepage: Scott Glaberman - http://pantheon.yale.edu/%7esrg24/
Scott provides information on his research which deals mainly with the use of molecular biology to understand evolutionary processes, especially the evolutionary history of immune system genes at the macro- and microevolutionary levels.

Stuart A. Kauffman - http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~susan/bib/nf/k/kauffman.htm#7268
Reviews of books, papers and articles by this American theoretical biologist and researcher into the origin of life on Earth.

Susumu Ohno - http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/biomems/sohno.html
Biographical memoir on this Japanese American researcher who postulated that gene duplication plays a major role in evolution, with a bibliography.

Symmetry-breaking and Molecular Evolution - http://www.dhushara.com/book/biocos/symevol.htm
Explores the structural relationship between cosmological symmetry-breaking and the form of molecular evolution leading to biological systems on Earth. It thus forms an alternative to historical hypotheses in which the form of biogenesis is believed to be the product of a linked sequence of specific conditions, bridged by stochastic selection processes.

Szostak Laboratory - http://genetics.mgh.harvard.edu/szostakweb/
Details work exploring the evolution of novel ribozymes (deoxyribo and ribonucleic acid catalysts) from populations of random sequences, attempting to shed light on the origins of biological catalysis.

The Thermosynthesis Home Page - http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Node/5345/
Describes and explains a theory that shows how organisms can use or may have used thermal cycling as an energy source, for example in volcanic hot springs, as an evolutionary step towards photosynthesis.

Walter M. Fitch - http://www.faculty.uci.edu/profile.cfm?faculty_id=2117
Profile of Walter M. Fitch, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, including his research interests and publications.
