Mutation
... • Chromosomal mutations affect lots of genes and tend to have a big effect on an organism. • A mutation may break up a gene causing the gene not to work, or it could make a new hybrid gene with a new function (which might turn out to be adaptive – or not). • Translocated genes may also come under th ...

Genome evolution
Genome evolution is the process by which a genome changes in structure (sequence) or size over time. The study of genome evolution involves multiple fields such as structural analysis of the genome, the study of genomic parasites, gene and ancient genome duplications, polyploidy, and comparative genomics. Genome evolution is a constantly changing and evolving field due to the steadily growing number of sequenced genomes, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, available to the scientific community and the public at large.
