Mathematics Of Evolution And Phylogeny

covering The Range Of Evolutionary Scales From Genes And Sequences To Genomes And Species, Gascuel (bioinformatics, U. De Montpellier, France) Introduces The Fundamental Mathematical And Computational Concepts And Research Into Current Phylogenetic Reconstruction Methods. Fourteen Chapters Describe The Minimum Evolution Distance- Based Approach Of Phylogenetic Inference, Likelihood Calculation In Molecular Phylogenetics, Bayesian Inference In Molecular Phylogenetics, Statistical Approaches To Test Involving Phylogenies, Mixture Models In Phylogenetic Inference, Hadamard Conjugation, Phylogenetic Networks, Reconstruction Of The Duplication History Of Tandemly Repeated Sequences, Conserved Segment Statistics And Rearrangement Inferences In Comparative Genomics, The Reversal Distance Problem, Genome Rearrangement With Gene Families, Reconstruction Of Phylogenies From Gene-content And Gene-order Data, And Distance-based Genome Rearrangement Phylogeny.
