Metagenomics for Microbiology, Second Edition unveils the intricate and diverse world of microbial communities, emphasizing their critical roles in health, disease, and ecosystem functionality. This updated edition addresses the significant challenges in the field and introduces promising approaches to make metagenomics research more feasible. Through comprehensive revisions and over five new chapters, readers are equipped with the latest research data and analyses, advancing their understanding of microbial principles. Notably, this edition provides a robust foundation for the design and analysis of omics studies, focusing on technological underpinnings and practical applications. It remains an essential resource for characterizing microbial consortia.
- Describes updated methodologies with best-practice prescription, from sample to data analysis, for current metagenomic studies
- Updates on sample preparation, data production, data clean up, data analysis, statistics, and experimental biology, with accompanying descriptions
- Includes a new chapter on long read applications using Nanopore technology
- Provides a new chapter on probability distributions that underpin the structure of microbiome ecosystems
- Covers bio surveillance of diseases and biodefense
Clinical and environmental microbiologists, molecular biologists, infectious disease experts, statisticians, biostatisticians, and public health scientists; graduate students and new researchers
