Computational Molecular Evolution by Anders Gorm Pedersen

That's an interesting topic. Two other courses I'm looking forward to in Coursera are:

1. Bioinformatics Algorithms from UC San Diego. The date is not announced yet. But the topics really useful.
2. Introduction to Systems Biology looks like another interesting course which starts very soon on Jun 3 2013. And it is just 6 weeks long.

Same here, I'm subscribed to both :)
