"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
