Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This book provides a comprehensive review of the many interesting statistical problems arising in molecular evolution provided by the leading researchers in the field. It is intended for researchers and students from the statistical and biological science alike. For the statistician the book provides an introduction to an exciting area of application that often has been overlooked by statisticians. For the biologists the book provides an introduction to the theory underlying many of the methods they use in their daily research. Several of the chapters, including the four introductory chapters, are also highly suitable as texts for advanced undergraduate or graduate level courses in molecular evolution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelent Reference Book on Molecular Evolution, October 13, 2005
By Sergio Pereira (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For those biologist and mathematicians willing to expand their knowledge in Molecular Evolution, this book is the right source. Chapters were written by leading researchers in their fields and are divided in sections from basic concepts to more advanced methods of molecular analysis. Language is clear, topics well organized. I recommend this book to any grad student, post doc or researcher interested in clear, informative reviews in several areas of Molecular Evolution.
