✦ Synopsis

This Set Of Lecture Notes Gives A First Coherent Account Of A Novel Aspect Of The Living World That Can Be Called Biological Information. The Book Presents Both A Pedagogical And State-of-the Art Roadmap Of This Rapidly Evolving Area And Covers The Whole Field, From Information Which Is Encoded In The Molecular Genetic Code To The Description Of Large-scale Evolution Of Complex Species Networks. The Book Will Prove Useful For All Those Who Work At The Interface Of Biology, Physics And Information Science. From The Contents: Statistical Significance And Extremal Ensemble Of Gapped Local Hybrid Alignment -- On The Design Of Optimization Critera For Multiple Sequence Alignment -- Red Queen Dynamics And The Evolution Of Translational Redundancy -- A Testable Genotype-phenotype Map: Modeling Evolution Of Rna Molecules -- Evolutionary Perspectives On Protein Structure, Stability, And Functionality -- The Statistical Approach To Molecular Phylogeny: Evidence For A Nonhyperthermophilic Common Ancestor -- Principles Of Cophylogenetic Maps -- Accounting For Phylogenetic Uncertainty In Comparative Studies Of Evolution And Adaptation -- The Shape Of Phylogenies Under Simple Random Speciation Models -- Fitness Landscapes -- Tempo And Mode In Quasispecies Evolution -- Multilevel Processes In Evolution And Development -- Evolutionary Strategies For Solving Optimazation Problems -- Review Of Biological Ageing On The Computer -- Spatio-temporal Modes Of Speciation.
