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.
