英文摘要	China has a large land area with highly diverse topography, climate and vegetation, and animal resources and is ranked eighth in the world and first in the Northern Hemisphere on richness of biodiversity. Even though little work on molecular evolution had been reported a decade ago, studies on both the evolution of macromolecules and the molecular phylogeny have become active in China in recent years. This review highlights some of the interesting and important developments in molecular evolution study in China. Chinese scientists have made significant contribution on the methods inferring phylogeny and biogeography of animals and plants in East Asia using molecular data. Studies on population and conservation genetics of animals and plants, such as Golden monkey and Chinese sturgeon, provided useful information for conserving the endangered species. East and South Asia has been demonstrated to be one of the centres of domestication. Origin and evolution of genes and gene families have been explored, which shed new insight on the genetic mechanism of adaptation. In the genomic era, Chinese researchers also made a transition from single-gene to a genomic investigation approach. Considering the fact that amazing progress has been made in the past few years, and more and more talented young scientists are entering field, the future of molecular evolution study in China holds much promise.
