Description
  1. viii, 240 pages : illustrations; 24 cm.
Summary
  1. Many researchers in statistics, biology, mathematics, and computer science are working in the area of genetics. This book presents mathematical techniques for understanding sequence evolution. Throughout the book, the theory is developed in close connection with data from more than 60 experimental studies from the biology literature that illustrate the use of these results. This book is written for mathematicians and for biologists alike. It assumes no previous knowledge of concepts from biology and only a basic knowledge of probability.
