The Evolution and Emergence of RNA Viruses (Oxford Series in Ecology and Evolution)

Edward C. Holmes is Professor of Biology and Eberly College of Science Distinguished Senior Scholar at The Pennsylvania State University. He has authored over 200 scientific publications and in 2003 was awarded the Scientific Medal for 'Achievement in Research by a Zoologist Under the Age of 40' by the Zoological Society of London for his work on evolutionary biology and bioinformatics. He is also co-author of a highly regarded text book in molecular evolution and phylogenetics. His research sits at the interface of four disciplines - evolutionary biology, genomics, infectious disease and bioinformatics - and for the last 20 years he has been involved in the development and use of a variety of computational techniques to reveal the fundamental patterns and processes of evolutionary change in viruses.

"A useful addition to the bookshelves of academicians and researchers. The combination of topical examples, appropriate and useful diagrams, and manageable scope are also sure to attract young researchers and graduate-level students. Holmes manages to bring together evolutionary biology, epidemiology, virology, disease ecology, and population genetics in a clear and concise way. The book highlights the results of new computational phylogenetic approaches that have been applied to viruses and the potential they have for elucidating the mechanisms of viral evolution, which will hopefully encourage more research in the future."--Systematic Biology
