Igor M. Rouzine: Mathematical Modeling of Evolution/Fitness Landscape, Red Queen, Evolutionary Enigmas, and Applications to Virology

This two-volume work focuses on the mathematical aspects of Darwinian evolution starting from the basic model of stochastic evolution of a single isolated locus in the presence of mutation to the multi–locus models of sexual and asexual populations. Volume 2 discusses the inference of fi tness landscape from DNA sequence data, discovery of the evolutionary roles of enygmatic traits, co-evolution of adversarial species, and various applications to virus evolution.
