Marine Genomics

This volume presents the latest protocols for both laboratory and§bioinformatics based analyses in the field of marine genomics. The chapters§presented in the book cover a wide range of topics, including the sampling and§genomics of bacterial communities, DNA extraction in marine organisms,§high-throughput sequencing of whole mitochondrial genomes, phylogenomics, SNP§discovery, SNP-arrays for species identification, digital PCR-based§quantification methods, environment DNA for invasive species surveillance and§monitoring, microarrays for the detection of waterborne pathogens, DNA§barcoding of marine biodiversity, metabarcoding protocols for marine§eukaryotes, analytical protocols for the visualization of eukaryotic diversity,§and applications for genomic data to benthic indices for environmental§monitoring. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology§series format, chapters include introduction to their respective topics, lists§of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible§laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.§§Cutting-edge and thorough, Marine Genomics: Methods and Protocols is a§valuable resource for researchers, students, and policy makers in the field of§marine biology.§
