Description of
Phylogenetic Trees and Molecular Evolution: A Hands-on Introduction with Uncertainty Quantification Corrected (SpringerBriefs in Systems Biology)
3031119576 pdf 3031119576 pdf This book serves as a brief introduction to phylogenetic trees and molecular evolution for biologists and biology students. It does so by presenting the main concepts in a variety of ways: first visually, then in a history, next in a dice game, and finally in simple equations. The content is primarily designed to introduce upper-level undergraduate and graduate students of biology to phylogenetic tree reconstruction and the underlying models of molecular evolution. A unique feature also of interest to experienced researchers is the emphasis on simple ways to quantify the uncertainty in the results more fully than is possible with standard methods.
