Molecular Phylogeny of Microorganisms
Aharon Oren and R. Thane Papke of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel and the University of Connecticut, USA (respectively) present a new publication on microbial phylogeny: Molecular Phylogeny of Microorganisms. Leading scientists from around the world explore current concepts in molecular phylogeny and their application with respect to microorganisms. The authors describe the different approaches applied today to elucidate the molecular phylogeny of prokaryotes (and eukaryotic protists) and review current phylogenetic methods, techniques and software tools. Topics covered include: a historical overview, computational tools, multilocus sequence analysis, 16S rRNA phylogenetic trees, rooting of the universal tree of life, applications of conserved indels, lateral gene transfer, endosymbiosis and the evolution of plastids.
This book is an ideal introduction to molecular phylogeny for all microbiologists and is an essential review of current concepts for experts in the field. A recommended text for all microbiology laboratories read more ...
