Statistical Methods in (molecular) Evolution 1
Statistical Methods in Molecular Evolution, edited by Rasmus Nielsen, contains a wide survey of current research in molecular evolution. It is organized into sections—introduction, program ‘‘tutorials,’’ models, and inference—a setup that constitutes a gentle introduction to the topic for mathematically inclined readers. For practical biologists, the start might be somewhat more challenging, al...
متن کاملStatistical methods for detecting molecular adaptation.
The past few years have seen the development of powerful statistical methods for detecting adaptive molecular evolution. These methods compare synonymous and nonsynonymous substitution rates in protein-coding genes, and regard a nonsynonymous rate elevated above the synonymous rate as evidence for darwinian selection. Numerous cases of molecular adaptation are being identified in various system...
متن کاملIntroduction. Statistical and computational challenges in molecular phylogenetics and evolution
1. INTRODUCTION Since the widespread acceptance of Darwin's theory of evolution (Darwin 1859), scientists have been interested in reconstructing the evolutionary relationships of living (and extinct) organisms. Evolution occurs too slowly to be experimented upon in situ in any but the most extreme cases, and scientists must look for information in the contemporary world that can lead to insight...
