Other sections focus on the application of microbiomics in different disease manifestations, such as obesity, diabetes, and more. The book provides the basics, as well as mechanistic knowledge underpinning the structural and functional understanding of the microbiome. With the advancement in omics technologies, as well as the development of bioinformatic tools, much research has been undertaken to decipher the microbiomes of different hosts.
This research is generating valuable insights into micro-ecological niches and their impact on humans, hence this new release covers these new insights. The book will be a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, postgraduate and graduate students who are interested in understanding the impact and importance of the omics approach to humans and their microbiomes.
- Provides an overview of the recent developments in meta-omics technologies
- Serves as a unique reference for healthcare professionals, pursuing research on gut homeostasis, and functional foods, as well as nutritional dietary management
- Focuses on the application of microbiomics in different disease manifestations, such as obesity, diabetes, and more
Scientists (academic and industrial), postgraduate students, research Scholars, PhD students and postdocs, medical sectors involved in host-microbiome (pathogen) interactions studies for developing new drug molecules, and the food
