Do literature searches for the following authors:

Palmer, J.D.
Sugiura, M.
Clegg, M.
DePamphlis, C.
Downie, S.

These authors have written a number of review papers which address several
of the questions you pose above.  Their literature reviews also contain
references to other relevant reviews.  Good Luck
