Overview and Goals This book describes how to visualize and compare bacterial genomes. Sequencing technologies are becoming so inexpensive that soon going for a cup of coffee will be more expensive than sequencing a bacterial genome. Thus, there is a very real and pressing need for high-throughput computational methods to compare hundreds and thousands of bacterial genomes. It is a long road from molecular biology to systems biology, and in a sense this text can be thought of as a path bridging these ? elds. The goal of this book is to p- vide a coherent set of tools and a methodological...

Sue Swanson is dedicated to her latest project, writing a book on laboratory methods for forensic investigations, when her daily routine is disturbed by two local murder cases. In particular, her attention is drawn to the DNA evidence related to those cases. Reluctantly, she starts her own investigations, while her private life is being shaken up and the impact of the murders increases steadily. Eventually, her life becomes frustratingly complicated. This is the second Sue Swanson novel, where science meets the world of crime. Thrilling, tense and witty, the story is told from the perspective...

Sue Swanson werkt met volle overgave aan haar nieuwste project, een boek over forensische onderzoeksmethoden, wanneer twee recente moordzaken haar aandacht vragen. Het lijkt erop dat er iets mis is met het DNA bewijs bij deze zaken. Met tegenzin begint ze aan een eigen onderzoek om te verklaren wat hier achter zit, terwijl haar huwelijk in zwaar weer belandt en de moordzaken steeds grotere kringen trekken. Uiteindelijk raakt haar leven behoorlijk uit balans. Dit is de tweede Sue Swanson detectiveroman, waarin wetenschap de wereld van de misdaad ontmoet. Het verhaal, pakkend, grappig en...
