Insight on Environmental Genomics: The High-Throughput Sequencing Revolution

Insight on Environmental Genomics: The High-Throughput Sequencing Revolution presents the recent advances in environmental genomics in the light of new technologies in high-throughput sequencing. Environmental genomics includes all the knowledge on organisms and ecosystems present and past by analyzing the sequence of genes, their expression, and their translation into proteome. This book provides information on the taxonomy and diversity of living and fossil organisms, their phylogeny and evolution, potential and capacity for adaptation and acclimatization, biology, functional traits, and interactions with the environment's biotic and abiotic dimensions.

• Includes recent updates from the field of environmental genomics
• Provides details of advances of methods and perspectives of their use
• Contains a multidisciplinary overview of the environmental sciences including taxonomy, ecology, evolution, and diversity
• Focuses on the impact of recent technology advances in high-throughput sequencing
