Klappentext The first book to systematically introduce the emerging area of phylogenetic combinatorics. Zusammenfassung The biosciences are generating new research directions in mathematical sciences. This book presents a new combinatorial theory that forms the basis for understanding structures such as phylogenetic trees and networks. Results are presented in full detail! so the reader can quickly reach the forefront of this fascinating new area. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Preliminaries; 2. Encoding X-trees; 3.
