Bacterial Genomes - Physical Structure and Analysis (Hardcover, 1998 ed.)

Bacterial Genomes provides an in-depth review of the latest research on the structure and stability of microbial genomes, and the techniques used to analyze and "fingerprint" them. Maps of a variety of microorganisms are featured, along with articles describing their construction and relevant features. Extensive tables summarizing the different types of techniques available to analyze the genomes of these microorganisms are also presented. Among those who will find this text most useful are genome researchers, microbiologists, molecular biologists, bacteriologists, infectious disease researchers, and molecular evolutionary biologists. Researchers and students working in the field of molecular evolution in general will also be interested in this book since microbes are such popular model systems.
