An introduction to molecular phylogeny, this text provides an overview of the diversity, systematics and nomenclature of microbes in many branches of biological science.
Foodborne illnesses caused by various bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens lead to a high number of morbidity and mortality in the U.S. and throughout the world. Recent advances in microbial genomics have significantly improved our understanding of the physiology, evolution, e…
Network-based representations have become pervasive in most fields in biology. Bacterial Molecular Networks: Methods and Protocols provides authoritative descriptions of various experimental and computational methods enabling the characterization and analysis of molecular intera…
"The science of molecular genetics began with the determination of the structure of DNA. Experiments with bacteria and phages (i.e., viruses that infect bacteria) in the late 1940s and early 1950s, as well as the presence of DNA in chromosomes of higher organisms, had implicated…
