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 genomicsProvides details of advances of methods and perspectives of their useContains a multidisciplinary overview of the environmental sciences including taxonomy, ecology, evolution, and diversityFocuses on the impact of recent technology advances in high-throughput sequencing INDICE: Chapter 1: IntroductionChapter 2: Issues, challenges, scientific obstacles and perspectives Chapter 3: Technological revolutions: potential and limitsChapter 4: Access and sharing of NGS data - coordinatorChapter 5: NGS data standard (Quality): from sequence to databasesChapter 6: Characterizing and quantifying biodiversity - coordinatorChapter 7: The dynamics of biodiversity - coordinatorChapter 8: Evolution and adaptation of genes and genomes - CoordinatorChapter 9: Degraded DNA and paleogenomicsChapter 10: Functional ecology and population genomicsChapter 11: Structure and functioning of microbial ecosystems: metagenomics and integration of omicsChapter 12: Modeling and prediction of the functioning and dynamics of ecosystemsChapter 13: The omics of tomorrow
