Edited by Claire M. Fraser, Timothy Read, Karen E. Nelson
Part of the Infectious Disease series
Hardback
Description
This collection of diverse articles by the pioneers of modern genomics takes stock of the current state of the field and elucidates the contribution that sequencing genomes has made to our understanding of microbial metabolism and evolution.
Through twenty-eight thought-provoking chapters, the authors describe some of the most common computational methods and their applications to studying pathogenic microorganisms, show how genomics can be used to reconstruct the history and dynamism of the microbial world, and discuss issues as diverse as reconstruction of metabolic pathways, cell cycle processes, microbial evolution, metagenomics, and vaccine development.
Additional chapters deal with microarrays and expression analysis and the role of genomic in drug discovery.
