Classical models of molecular evolution, however, are focused at the level of the symbols - the biological sequence - rather than that of their resulting structure. Now recent advances in understanding the thermodynamics of macromolecules, the topological properties of gene networks, the organization and mutation capabilities of genomes, and the structure of populations make it possible to incorporate these key elements into a broader and deeply interdisciplinary view of molecular evolution. This book gives an account of such a new approach, through clear tutorial contributions by leading scientists specializing in the different fields involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUgo Bastolla is researcher in the laboratory of bioinformatics of the\u003cbr\u003eCentro de Astrobiologia in Madrid (Spain), on leave to the Centro de\u003cbr\u003eBiologia Molecular of the Spanish CSIC. Since his degree in physics\u003cbr\u003ewith Luca Peliti he has always been interested in biological topics, \u003cbr\u003eabove all evolution. He got is PhD in Rome with Giorgio Parisi working\u003cbr\u003eon disordered dynamical systems inspired to biology and was postdoc in\u003cbr\u003eJulich (Germany) with Peter Grassberger, studying statistical mechanical\u003cbr\u003emodels of polymers, in Berlin (Germany) with E.W. Knapp studying simple\u003cbr\u003eprotein models, in Golm (Germany) with Michael Laessig, studying\u003cbr\u003eecological models, and finally in Madrid (Spain) in the bioinformatics\u003cbr\u003egroup of Alfonso Valencia.
