Description for Bacterial Genomes and Infectious Diseases
hardcover. Focuses on some major general findings about bacterial genomes. This book discusses their impact on strategy and approach for investigating mechanisms of pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. It also focuses on the value and power of genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics as applied to various bacterial pathogens. Editor(s): Chan, V.L.; Sherman, Philip M.; Bourke, Billy. Num Pages: 270 pages, 22 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MJCJ; MJCM; MMFM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 254 x 178 x 17. Weight in Grams: 804.
The first bacterial genome, Haemophilus influenzae, was completely sequenced, annotated, and published in 1995. Today, more than 200 prokaryotic (archaeal and bacterial) genomes have been completed and over 500 prokaryotic genomes are in va- ous stages of completion. Seventeen eukaryotic genomes plus four eukaryotic chro- somes have been completed. The concept of achieving better understanding of an organism through knowledge of the complete genomic sequence was first demonstrated in 1978 when the first bacteriophage genome, X174, was sequenced. Complete genomic sequences of prokaryotes have led to a better understanding of the biology and evolution of the microbes, and, for pathogens, ... Read more

Reviews for Bacterial Genomes and Infectious Diseases
"...should serve well those seeking a general introduction and overview of both the principles and application of microbial genomics to the study of infectious disease. Clear explanations of what can often be viewed as a complex and confusing subject should make this a valuable resource in this important and rapidly advancing area of research." -Doody's Book Review, Weighted Numberical Score: ...
