Genome Assembly

This detailed volume examines a wide range of disciplines involving genome assembly and its uses. Covering a diversity of taxa including bacteria, archaea, viruses, animals, plants, and fungi, the book demonstrates the similarities and differences in genome assembly methods and biological differences across those groups, while also describing the latest advances in modern sequencing strategies as well as techniques in the rapidly growing fields of meta-genomics and pan-genomics. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include the kind of detail to ensure successful results in new research.



Authoritative and practical, Genome Assembly serves as an ideal guide for researchers pursuing genome analysis, a highly active area of global biosciences research.
