"Finally, it has arrived: The book I can confidently recommend to my students as the best in the field. That this single book has been able to cover so much is testimony to the dedication and quality of the authors." James McInerney, National University of Ireland <!--end-->

"Much of bioinformatics is based on, yet too often ignores, the underlying principles of molecular evolution. This well-written book provides a description of modern bioinformatics methods while providing the biology and evolutionary theory necessary to understand how, why, and when these methods work. This is essential reading for those interested in being either a bioinformatics developer or an informed user." Richard Goldstein, National Institute for Medical Research

"I like the text's balance; it is rigorous without being too formal, and has an accessible and broad coverage of topics from both a computer science and a biology perspective." Mohammad Zaki, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

"This book nicely integrates molecular evolution and bioinformatics, two disciplines that go hand in hand, as rightfully claimed by the authors. Many bioinformatics applications are based on principles of molecular evolution, and to study molecular evolution is unthinkable nowadays without having access to the necessary tools and implementations. This is an excellent book for both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for anyone who wants to solve problems in molecular evolution and needs to know the practicalities." Yves Van de Peer, Ghent University, Belgium

"This book is actually fun! Fun, very educative, well organised, practical and easy to use...I wish this book had been published long ago." The British Toxicology Society Newsletter, November 2005

"...an excellent and current introduction to classical bioinformatics and an ideal core text for a Master's course in the subject." Comparative and Functional Genomics, November 2005
