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 ...
