Data Analysis in Molecular Biology and Evolution

__Data Analysis in Molecular Biology and Evolution__ introduces biologists to DAMBE, a proprietary, user-friendly computer program for molecular data analysis. The unique combination of this book and software will allow biologists not only to understand the rationale behind a variety of computational tools in molecular biology and evolution, but also to gain instant access to these tools for use in their laboratories. __Data Analysis in Molecular Biology and Evolution__ serves as an excellent resource for advanced level undergraduates or graduates as well as for professionals working in the field.
