Opis

Metagenomics has revolutionized microbiology and many associated health and environmental fields. This is the first comprehensive treatise covering the various -omics in a large variety of habitats, which could not previously have been analysed without metagenomic methodology. This is a reference work both for people in the field and those who would like to enter it.

Two volume set covers topics including: Volume One Species designations in microbiology
Metagenomics
Consortia and databases
Bioinformatics
Microarrays
Other -omics applications Volume Two
Viral genomes
Metagenomics studies in a variety of habitats, including marine, soil, and the digestive tract
Biodegradation
Biocatalysts and natural products
