Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis of DNA sequences contributes to evolutionary biology at all levels, from dating the origin of the biological kingdoms to untangling family relationships. This introductory text presents the fundamental concepts and intellectual tools needed to understand how the genome records information about the evolutionary past and processes, how that information can be 'read', and what kinds of questions we can use that information to answer. Starting with evolutionary principles, and illustrated throughout with biological examples, it offers an ideal starting point on the journey to an understanding of the way molecular data is used in modern biology.
