Synopsis

This book is a revised and expanded edition of the classic 1979 volume that originally appeared in Springer's Biomathematics series. The author remains one of the leading researchers in the field of theoretical population genetics, a subject of growing importance given the recent advances in molecular biology and DNA sequencing.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"The book concentrates on the mathematical aspects of population genetics at the graduate or research level. ... an excellent summary of the most important results, and very welcome in view of a vast scattered literature. I particularly like the many interesting connections that are made ... . Another highlight is an extra chapter on Moran model ... . Ewens account of mathematical population genetics is unique ... . I am very happy to see this second edition in print ... ." --Ellen Baake, Mathematical Biosciences, Vol. 197, 2005

"This is an excellent book on population genetics and evolution placing the emphasis on mathematical and statistical aspects of the theory. ... the author successfully connects classical prospective theory with the current retrospective viewpoint of population genetics. ... this is an exciting and significant book which reflects the author s enthusiasm and experience in the field through many decades. It should be read by graduate students and researchers interested in mathematical aspects of population genetics ... ." --Günther Karigl, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1060, 2005

Présentation de l'éditeur

Population genetics occupies a central role in a number of important biological and social undertakings. It is fundamental to our understanding of evolutionary processes, of plant and animal breeding programs, and of various diseases of particular importance to mankind. This is the first of a planned two-volume work discussing the mathematical aspects of population genetics, with an emphasis on the evolutionary theory. This first volume draws heavily from the author's classic 1979 edition, which appeared originally in Springer's Biomathematics series. It has been revised and expanded to include recent topics which follow naturally from the treatment in the earlier edition, e.g., the theory of molecular population genetics. This book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in mathematical biology and other mathematically-trained scientists looking to enter the field of population genetics.
