Recenzje

"Microbiomics is a broad and still developing field. As the authors point out in the preface, the future of the field is largely unknown. This volume provides a solid overview of the current state of the field and points to multiple areas of likely development. The individual chapters are well sourced with large numbers of appropriate references and occasional suggestions for additional reading." --Doody
