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 wider courses in evolution, as well as a valuable resource for professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFirst student textbook of phylogenetic reconstruction which uses the tree as a central metaphor of evolution.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter summaries and annotated suggestions for further reading.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWorked examples facilitate understanding of some of the more complex issues.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmphasis on clarity and accessibility.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\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\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Biology, life sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Biology, life sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Biology,%20life%20sciences%20%5BPS%5D%22\"\u003ePS\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52463039349016,"sku":"9780865428898","price":77.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780865428898.jpg?v=1785546459","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/molecular-evolution-a-phylogenetic-approach-paperback-softback-9780865428898","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
