Description
This textbook describes the dynamics of evolutionary change at the molecular level, the driving forces behind the evolutionary process, and the effects of molecular mechanisms on the structure of genes and genomes. Intended for graduate students and researchers, the book includes extensive molecular data as well as methodological tools for comparative and phylogenetic analyses of data from an evolutionary perspective. Many current issues of molecular evolution are discussed in depth.
