Statistical, computational, and algorithmic work on them has been ongoing for four decades, with great advances in understanding. Yet no book has summarized this work until now. \u003cem\u003eInferring Phylogenies\u003c\/em\u003e explains clearly the assumptions and logic of making inferences about phylogenies, and using them to make inferences about evolutionary processes. It is an essential text and reference for anyone who wants to understand how phylogenies are reconstructed and how they are used. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs phylogenies are inferred with various kinds of data, this book concentrates on some of the central ones: discretely coded characters, molecular sequences, gene frequencies, and quantitative traits. Also covered are restriction sites, RAPDs, and microsatellites. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eInferring Phylogenies\u003c\/em\u003e is intended for graduate-level courses, assuming some knowledge of statistics, mathematics (calculus and fundamental matrix algebra), molecular sequences, and quantitative genetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Felsenstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0878931775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878931774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sinauer Associates Is an Imprint of Oxford Un\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 7.06w x 0.94d","brand":"Joseph Felsenstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44063459442943,"sku":"9780878931774","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d13f9ac6-4fa0-4b59-abaf-b600410cec97.jpg?v=1685389677","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inferring-phylogenies-joseph-felsenstein-9780878931774","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
