Very little better than Swofford's chapter in:
"Molecular Systematics" (DM Hillis and C Moritz, Eds.), Sinauer
Associates, 1990. ISBN 0-87893-279-8
or Jotun Hein's and Doolittle's chapters in:
"Molecular Evolution: Computer Analysis of Protein and Nucleic Acid
Sequences" (RF Doolittle, Ed.). Methods in Enzymology Vol. 183,
Academic Press, 1990. ISBN 0-12-182084-X
Enjoy...some very weighty reading ahead!
