acknowledgment
it is mentioned that only a army general fielding an army within the frontier could actually enjoy and completely acknowledge the contribution with the comrades in arms defending his left and appropriate, along with the logistics division backing him up from behind. not currently being a common and obtaining never ever been close to turning into one particular, it looks inevitable that my acknowledgement would be to be inadequate and defective.
but i do have comrades in arms protecting me and friends and family members members supporting me with logistics. i'm fortunate to get stephan aris-brosou, linda bonen, andre dabrowski,
Office 2010 Professional Plus, christian detellier, marc ekker, man drouin, donal hickey,
Office 2007 Key, stan matwin, youlian pan, steve perry, marcel turcotte, vance trudeau, morris zhang, and david zhou as colleagues and close friends who have assisted me not merely within the part of comrades in arms but also as an important component of my logistics division.
much with the guide is depending on my two undergraduate programs along with a graduate course on bioinformatics and molecular evolution at university of ottawa. my pupils, especially graduate pupils, have supplied me with constant challenges and pedagogical insights. the subsequent graduate college students have commented on numerous chapters and corrected typing problems: malisa carullo, sam khalouei, pinchao, ma, jan mennigen, gareth polidwor, jason popescu, ziyu song, huiling xiong, xiaoquan yao.
the web has helped me keep contact with colleagues far and extensive. many concepts and methods within the e-book were included as a consequence of my discussions with esther betran, adam eyre-walker, joe felsenstein, youngbi fu, olivier gascuel, brian golding, paul higgs, king jordan, sudhir kumar, wen-hsiung li, jean lobry, manyuan long, axel meyer, etsuko moriyama, eduardo rocha, eduardo roman, marco salemi, anne-mieke vandamme, and reiner veitia.
while many people have read and commented on some parts with the e-book, stephan aris-brosou and yongbi fu have read almost every chapter and provided detailed comments and suggestions. joe felsenstein suggested, upon a quick reading of an earlier draft,
Microsoft Office Professional 2007, adding the em algorithm for maximum likelihood calculation and mcmc algorithm for evaluating posterior probabilities in bayesian inference. as a little known fact, it can be also joe who, together with ben hall, got me started with molecular evolution and phylogenetics when i developed severe allergic response to deer mice that i used to study.
the patience of my editors, joseph burns and marcia kidston, are a lot appreciated. being an embarrassing manifestation of my naivety, i promised, in late 2003, to deliver the book to the publisher before february 15, 2005, and i thought it was a conservative estimate. after all, i had been teaching these computational methods for many years and producing a e-book seemed to require little more than simply dumping my lectures to a printer. what a humbling experience in writing the book!
i also wish to take this opportunity to thank my wife, zheng,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, my daughter kimberley, and my sons jeffery, jeremy and jadon, for their love, support and entertainment. without their constant demand for walks, talks and outdoor activities, daddy would probably have spent all his time in front of computers and consequently ruined his health many years ago.
a household of increasing size has helped me better enjoy the importance of financial matters, so that i will not forget to acknowledge the grant support i have received from university of ottawa and from canadian national science and engineering research council’s discovery grant, research tools and instrument grant, and strategic grant for doing research in bioinformatics and molecular evolution. while our funding agencies will inevitably focus on research projects aiming to turn the white and light from the sky into the golden and heavy from the bank, i am glad that there is still some leftover for other enquiries.
