(Ebook) Computational Phylogenetics: An Introduction to Designing Methods for Phylogeny Estimation by Tandy Warnow ISBN 9781107184718, 1107184711

A thorough explanation of both fundamental and sophisticated concepts in phylogeny estimate with a focus on computational and statistical difficulties. Since no prior knowledge of biology or computer science is assumed and few mathematical formulas are used, the material will be understandable to students of various academic fields, including biology, computer science, statistics, and applied mathematics. After a thorough presentation of the mathematical and statistical underpinnings of phylogeny estimation, more complex information is covered. This contains in-depth chapters on building methods for large-scale phylogeny estimate, supertree approaches, multiple sequence alignment techniques, and multi-locus phylogeny estimation. The author discusses the effectiveness of approaches for estimating trees in practise as well as important analytical tools to demonstrate theoretical properties concerning methods.
