Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A plethora of methods have been used in evolutionary genetics, including classic approaches stemming from population genetics and statistical measures for distinguishing neutral mutations from natural selection. Phylogenetic analyses have been extended using network theory in order to carry out phylogenomic analysis.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and reviews that cover the basic and applied aspects of evolution, as well as the novel tools and methodologies that are currently in use in the field of evolution. The goal of this Special Issue is understand how using interdisciplinary research for advancing knowledge in evolutionary genetics currently provides an opportunity with which to tackle both old and modern challenges.
