[Under Construction]

 

Davis, (1996) BioScience 46:502 - a good outline of Hennig’s cladistical concepts within an essay on the species concept

Doolittle ed (1990) Molecular Evolution: Computer Analysis of Protein and Nucleic Acid Sequences; Methods in Enzymol. v 183, Academic Press (NY) - a compendium, nicely methods oriented in most cases

Dutta & Winter eds, (1986a&b & 1989) DNA Systematics v I, II, III, CRC Press (Boca Raton) - a rather erratic group of reviews

Eck & Dayhoff (1966) Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure, Natl. Biomed. Res Found., Silver Spring, MD - the chapters before the actual atlas are an interesting early introduction (there are several editions)

Felsenstein (1988) Ann. Rev. Genet. 22:151 - a good review of what's being inferred based on which assumptions with how much reliability

Gillespie (1991) Oxford Press (Oxford) - an attempt to provide a sytematic summary of the selectionist viewpoint as a rebuttal to Kimura; as in so many either-or debates both he and Kimura are right and Gillespie appears to appreciate this point even while trying to minimize it

Hennig (1966) Phylogenetic Systematics, translated by D.D. Davis amd R. Zangerl, University of Illinois Press (Urbana, IL) - the origin of cladistics

Hillis & Moritz eds, (1990) Molecular Sytematics, Sinauer Assoc (Suderland, MA) - appears to be the product of a meeting with emphasis on methods (I've seen only a flyer)

Li (1997) Molecular Evolution, Sinauer Assoc (Sunderland, MA) - appears to be aimed as a more complete text than Li & Graur (I've seen only a review)

Li & Graur (1990) Fundamentals of Molecular Evolution, Sinauer Assoc (Sunderland, MA) - appears to be aimed as a text which will review the background in molecular biology, evolution and math as needed (I've seen only a flyer)

Miyamoto & Cracraft eds, (1991) Phylogenetic Analysis of DNA Sequences, Oxford Univ. Press (Oxford) - a collection of reviews; as of early 1992, the latest

Nei (1975) Molecular Population Genetics and Evolution (1975), North Holland (Amsterdam) - a very mathematically oriented text; getting out of date

Sankoff & Kruskal eds (1983) Time Warps, String Edits, and Macromolecules: the Theory and Practice of Sequence Comparison, Addison Wesley (Reading) - reviews and analyses; some very theoretical; as the title emphasizes, some of the mathematical parallels are striking

Sneath (1973) Numerical Taxonomy, Freeman (San Francisco) - A text much of it relevant only to systematics but part of the popularization of cladistics and the UPGMA method.

von Heijne (1987) Sequence Analysis in Molecular Biology: Treasure Trove or Trivial Pursuit, Academic Press (NY) - a thoughtful discussion of computerized analysis of sequence data at the front end (i.e., not that evolutionary)

Waterman ed (1989) Mathematical Methods for DNA Sequences, CRC Press (Boca Raton) - another collection; somewhat more theoretical in stretches than many

Weir (1990) Genetic Data Analysis, Sinauer Assoc (Suderland, MA) - a population genetics text that spends much of its effort on molecular evolution

Wills (1994) Phylogenetic Analysis and Molecular Evolution; Ch. 6 in Biocomputing. Informatics and Genome Projects,Ed. by DW Smith; Academic Press (NY) p175 - a review with modest emphasis on human data
