General
No book is required for this class!
But if you want to to check out a book anyway I suggest to read
Yang, Ziheng 2006. Computational Molecular Evolution (Oxford Series in Ecology and Evolution)
- Models of nucleotide substitution (- chapter 1.6)
- Models of amino acid and codon substitution (+2.2, +2.5)
- Maximum likelihood methods (-4.4, -4.5, -4.6, -4.7 [comes later])
- Bayesian methods (this chapter contains about the same content as Paul Lewis’ lecture)
- Molecular clock +7.2
- Simulating molecular evolution +9.5.1
