Microbial Population Genetics
Major current advances in microbial population genetics and genomics. Fundamental concepts, genetic tools and comprehensive reviews of recent data from SNP surveys, whole-genome DNA sequences and microarray hybridizations. Covers broad groups of microorganisms including viruses, bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa and algae. A major focus is the application of molecular tools in the study of genetic variation. Topics include microbial systematics, comparative microbial genomics, horizontal gene transfer, pathogenic bacteria, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, cyanobacteria, microalgae, fungi, malaria parasites, viral pathogens and metagenomics.
