The Phylogenetic Handbook is a broad, hands on guide to theory and practice of nucleotide and protein phylogenetic analysis. This second edition includes six new chapters, covering topics such as Bayesian inference, tree topology testing and the impact of recombination on phylogenies, as well as a detailed section on molecular adaptation. The book has a stronger focus on hypothesis testing than the previous edition, with more extensive discussions on recombination analysis, detecting molecular adaptation and genealogy-based population genetics. Many chapters include elaborate practical sections, which have been updated to introduce the reader to the most recent versions of sequence analysis and phylogeny software, including BLAST, FastA, Clustal, T-coffee, Muscle, DAMBE, Tree-puzzle, Phylip, MEGA, PAUP*, IQPNNI, CONSEL, ModelTest, Prottest, PAML, HYPHY, MrBayes, BEAST, LAMARC, SplitsTree, and RDP. Many analysis tools are described by their original authors, resulting in clear explanations that constitute an ideal teaching guide for advanced-level undergraduate and graduate students.

《DNA纳米技术:分子传感、计算与机器》的主旨是介绍DNA纳米技术这个崭新的研究领域。DNA纳米技术是纳米生物学的重要组成部分，其特点在于融合了DNA（基因）技术与纳米技术这两个热点领域，并产生了众多激动人心的研究成果。DNA分子除了具有基因的遗传特性外，同时也是一个结构精巧的一维纳米线。将DNA与纳米材料组合起来，甚至将DNA本身作为一种纳米材料，可以为生命科学、材料科学、环境科学等领域带来前所未有的推动作用。《DNA纳米技术:分子传感、计算与机器》着重介绍DNA纳米技术中最为引人注目的几个主要方向，即DNA分子的生物传感器、DNA分子操纵和分子机器，以及DNA分子计算机。
