微生物种群遗传学是一个快速发展的研究领域，与许多科学领域相关。该科目包括理论问题，如物种的起源和进化，性别和重组。群体遗传学为追踪抗生素耐药性和致命传染性病原体的起源和进化奠定了基础，也是利用有益微生物的重要工具。由该领域的领先研究人员撰写，这本无价的书详细介绍了微生物种群遗传学和基因组学的主要进展。杰出的国际科学家介绍基本概念，描述遗传工具，并全面审查SNP调查，全基因组DNA序列和微阵列杂交的最新数据。章节涵盖了微生物的广泛群体，包括病毒，细菌，古菌，真菌，原生动物和藻类。书的一个主要焦点是在遗传变异的研究中分子工具的应用。涵盖的主题包括微生物系统学，比较微生物基因组学，水平基因转移，病原菌，固氮菌，蓝藻，微藻，真菌，疟疾寄生虫，病毒病原体和宏基因组学。一个必不可少的卷为每个人感兴趣的人口遗传学和强烈推荐阅读为所有微生物学家。
Microbial population genetics is a rapidly advancing field of investigation with relevance to many areas of science. The subject encompasses theoretical issues such as the origins and evolution of species, sex and recombination. Population genetics lays the foundations for tracking the origin and evolution of antibiotic resistance and deadly infectious pathogens and is also an essential tool in the utilization of beneficial microbes. Written by leading researchers in the field, this invaluable book details the major current advances in microbial population genetics and genomics. Distinguished international scientists introduce fundamental concepts, describe genetic tools and comprehensively review recent data from SNP surveys, whole-genome DNA sequences and microarray hybridizations. Chapters cover broad groups of microorganisms including viruses, bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa and algae. A major focus of the book is the application of molecular tools in the study of genetic variation. Topics covered include microbial systematics, comparative microbial genomics, horizontal gene transfer, pathogenic bacteria, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, cyanobacteria, microalgae, fungi, malaria parasites, viral pathogens and metagenomics. An essential volume for everyone interested in population genetics and highly recommended reading for all microbiologists.
