Reviews for Bioinformatics and Molecular Evolution
"Finally, it has arrived: The book I can confidently recommend to my students as the best in the field. That this single book has been able to cover so much is testimony to the dedication and quality of the authors." James McInerney, National University of Ireland "Much of bioinformatics is based on, yet too often ignores, the underlying ... Read more
