Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University
Press. 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 involving bacteria, plants, and animals, as well as
analytical tools that have been developed and perfected in the last
decade, and has been brought up to date in line with the many
advances in genomics, protein engineering, computational biology,
and bioinformatics. The authors explain evolutionary phenomena at
the molecular level in a way that can be understood without much
prerequisite knowledge of molecular biology, evolution, or
mathematics. Both mathematical and intuitive explanations are
provided, and examples that support and clarify the many
theoretical arguments and methodological discussions are included.
