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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Containing some obvious errorsThe book contains some obvious errors. For example, when describing dynamic programming, the recursive formula is wrong. Another example is on P.162, where it is said that the KA/KS ratio exceeds 100 for conservative genes. In general, the book briefly touches on a lot of topics. While the book is meant to serve an introductory purpose, some details necessary for understanding the concepts are missing. Rating:  - One of the best out thereThis 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. Rating: - good textI't a required text book. I've been using it for about 3 weeks. It gives good discription for bioinformatics problems. Rating: - 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. Rating: - In depth, informativeThis 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.
