A number of mathematical models and methods have been designed to identify the fingerprints of natural selection on genes and genomes. This book summarizes the knowledge in the field of methods to identify signatures of natural selection. The book presents the methods in a simple and direct way so that students of different disciplines can navigate through molecular fitness landscapes with only basic knowledge of bioinformatics. The book explores different levels of complexity, from nucleotides to proteins and molecular networks.
