Book Overview

This book describes the dynamics of evolutionary change at the molecular level, the driving forces behind the evolutionary process, the effects of the various molecular mechanisms on the structure of genes, proteins, and genomes, the methodology involved in dealing with molecular data from an evolutionary perspective, and the logic of molecular hypothesis testing. The second edition incorporates newly acquired evolutionary insight from genome projects...

Good info, easy to understand

I ordered this to go along with a class on molecular systematics and evolution. So far it has been great. I haven't had a genetics class in a while, but I'm having no trouble following the reading. I'd definately recommend this book to anyone else new to the field of who is looking for a good desk reference.

One of the best out there

This is probably one of the best if not the best for beginners. I used this in grad school and reccommend this to all budding molecular evolutionists.

good text

I't a required text book. I've been using it for about 3 weeks. It gives good discription for bioinformatics problems.

Very interesting...

I read this book for pleasure, and I found it very informative since I was interested in the subject matter prior to buying it. It is mathematically intense at parts, and I skipped those parts. Well worth the money if you have a passion or budding interest in this field.

In depth, informative

This is a very complex, indepth, informative book on molecular and genetic evolution. Explainations of genetic drift, mutation rates, times to fixation, patterns in evolutionary changes. Lots of statistical information on how allele frequencies change. Written for a knowledgable audiance with a good understanding of evolution and genetics. Gives informative understanding of trends in evolution beyond natural selection. Supports neutral theory of evolution quite strongly.
