Beginning with an introduction to microbial evolution, computer simulations, and evolutionary algorithms, the book moves on to explore the evolution of DNA sequences and concepts like neutral evolution, Mendelian inheritance, Darwinian natural selection, and genome evolution. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQiu offers exercises to help readers retain the concepts discussed within, as well as links to open-source code on a complimentary companion website. Those links point to code that serves as a programming recipe for solving evolutionary problems that can be implemented in Python, Bash, R, and other popular programming languages. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders will also find: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thorough introduction to a new approach to teaching population genetics and evolution\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensive explorations of algorithm-centered, programming language-agnostic learning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePractical exercises at the end of each chapter that clarify key concepts with guided application\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIn-depth treatments of evolutionary mechanisms, like recombination, genetic linkage, balancing selection, genome evolution, bacterial clonality, and negative frequency-dependent selection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying population genetics, evolution, genetics, and bioinformatics, this book will also benefit researchers with an interest in evolutionary biology, genetics, microbiology, and virology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Weigang Qiu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1394314612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781394314614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Weigang Qiu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48748357746943,"sku":"9781394314614","price":87.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/digital-genomes-weigang-qiu-9781394314614","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
