Book details Gascuel O Steel M Reconstructing Evolution New mathematical and computational advances Oxford University Press New York 2007. hardcover xxix 318 pages ISBN 978-0-19920822-7 Overview The main theme of the book is mathematical models of evolutionary processes in biology. These models have become increasingly complex in order to cope with the various aspects involved in the study of these processes and involve a wide range of concepts from different areas of mathematics and computer science. This book gives an overview of some of the key contemporary topics in the field. The book is organized in 10 chapters each written by an expert or a group of experts on the topic addressed in that chapter. At the end of many chapters directions for future research are discussed. Each chapter comes with its own list of references. At the end of the book the reader can find an index that helps to locate quickly the context within which a particular concept appears. Contents The book starts with a brief introduction by the editors. They outline how the discovery of biological processes such as alternative splicing and lateral gene .
