The Phylogenetic Handbook: A Practical Approach to Phylogenetic Analysis and Hypothesis Testing

Poon, and Simon D. Introduction to recombination detection Philippe Lemey and David Posada; Bayesian evolutionary analysis by sampling trees Alexei Drummond and Andrew Rambaut; Review Text "This impressive handbook provides unparalleled coverage of the practice of turning genetic data into sensible statements about evolutionary history and processes. Intended as a hands-on resource for the student or professional scientists who wishes to master basic phylogenetic concepts and get to grips with the software - in this regard it succeeds admirably.

Review quote "This impressive handbook provides unparalleled coverage of the practice of turning genetic data into sensible statements about evolutionary history and processes. His research focuses on molecular evolution of viruses by integrating molecular biology and computational approaches.

He currently holds a research position at the University of California, Irvine, where he works on epidemiological virology and phylogenetic analysis, focusing on the molecular epidemiology of human pathogenic viruses, such as HIV and HCV. Her laboratory investigates treatment responses in HIV-infected patients and is respected for its scientific and clinical contributions on virus-drug resistance.
