Aspergilli

<p>With high-quality genome sequences for the important and ubiquitous Aspergilli now available increased opportunities arise for the further understanding of its gene function interaction expression and evolution. <b>The Aspergilli: Genomics Medical Aspects Biotechnology and Research Methods</b> provides a comprehensive analysis of the research that reveals the main biological attributes of these species. The co-editors are a particularly proficient and prolific pair with long track records of scientific productivity.</p><p>The book sets the stage with a discussion of basic biology examining the data on the structure of genomes and comparing the genetic map and annotation methodology. It includes a comparison of metabolic abilities among different <i>Aspergillus spp.</i> and other species then covers areas such as comparative biology pathogenic properties and metabolic capabilities of the Aspergilli. The book reviews established techniques and new methodologies for the post-genomic era in <i>Aspergillus spp</i>. It comes with a CD containing color illustrations to supplement the text. </p><p>Filling the need for centralized information on a genus that has important economic impacts on agriculture human health industry and pharmacology the book presents a wide range of data collected and arranged into one convenient resource. Written by a team of international experts this is the first in-depth and exhaustive analysis of the genomics of the Aspergilli.</p>
