Computing for Comparative Microbial Genomics: Bioinformatics for Microbiologists

by Stefano Borini, Trudy M. Wassenaar, David W. Ussery

Book Overview

Overview and Goals This book describes how to visualize and compare bacterial genomes. Sequencing technologies are becoming so inexpensive that soon going for a cup of coffee will be more expensive than sequencing a bacterial genome. Thus, there is a very real and pressing need for high-throughput computational methods to compare hundreds and thousands of bacterial genomes. It is a long road from molecular biology to systems biology, and in a sense...
