Book Review: Molecular Phylogeny of Microorganisms
I am pleased to provide the following excerpt from a book review of Molecular Phylogeny of Microorganisms:
"Molecular phylogeny, the analysis of gene or protein sequences to unravel the relatedness among microorganisms, plays an important role in microbial taxonomy. One of the most exciting developments in this respect was the discovery of the two domains, Bacteria and Archaea, by Carl Woese in the 1970th. The present book, Molecular Phylogeny of Microorganisms, edited by Aharon Ohren and R. Thane Papke, describes very nicely the different approaches to apply molecular phylogeny, encountering the difficulties with the present phylogenomic species concept. This book ... addresses the most interesting issues in relation to molecular phylogeny ... Anyone, who is interested in microbial phylogeny, surely will enjoy reading this book. The hardcover, format and contents of the book make it a pleasure to read." from Mareike Viebahn (Centocor BV, Leiden, The Netherlands) writing in Curr. Issues Mol. Biol. read more ...

Book Review: RNA Interference and Viruses
RNA Interference and Viruses
"a timely and well-compiled book, authored by several distinguished scientists who have made significant contributions to this important area of emerging research. The book consists of 11 chapters dealing with various aspects of the relevance of RNAi to viral infections in plant, insect and mammalian cells ... the book addresses a range of important fundamental issues that may impact on the development of RNAi-based therapies against several human diseases. It provides a solid introduction to the general concepts in the field of RNAi, how viruses modulate RNAi responses as well as issues involved in using RNAi as antiviral therapy. Thus, this book will be useful to a wide range of readership- from basic science students, to RNAi researchers, to virologists, to investors in drug development companies."
