Phylogenetic ''trees'' of gene sequences are a powerful tool for recovering evolutionary relationships among species, and can be used to answer a broad range of evolutionary and ecological questions. They are also beginning to permeate the medical sciences. In this book, the authors approach the study of molecular evolution with the phylogenetic tree as a central metaphor. This will equip students and professionals with the ability to see both the evolutionary relevance of molecular data, and the significance evolutionary theory has for molecular studies. The book is accessible yet sufficiently detailed and explicit so that the student can learn the mechanics of the procedures discussed. The book is intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in molecular evolution\/phylogenetic reconstruction. It will also be a useful supplement for students taking \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Archaeology of the Genome. \u003cp\u003eTrees; Genes: Organization, Function and Evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGenes in Populations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMeasuring Genetic Change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInferring Molecular Phylogeny.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eModels of Molecular Evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApplications of Molecular Phylogenetics\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406387224919,"sku":"9780865428898","price":85.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780865428898.jpg?v=1730495620","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/molecular-evolution-9780865428898","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
