Microbial Genomics: Host Adaptation, Virulence, and Evolution covers different aspects of microbial genomics, metagenomics, and functional studies of microbes that have provided a significant understanding of microbial-host interactions, virulence function, host adaptation mechanisms, including microbial evolution. Microbial Genomics: Host Adaptation, virulence, and Evolution is a comprehensive source on the latest updates and applications of microbial genomics information to understand the plant, microbe interaction, host adaptation, virulence nature of the infectious pathogen, microbial evolution, host-pathogen interactions contribute to shaping the genetic diversity of both organisms. Sections include an introduction to Microbial Genomics, followed by sections on Plant Microbiome, Genome Editing Prospecting and Approaches, Microbial virulanse and disease incidence. The final section of the book covers Microbial Genomics and evolutionary concepts. “Microbial Genomics: Host Adaptation, virulence, and Evolution” is a valuable resource for faculty members, researchers, and undergraduate and postgraduate students at universities, medical research labs, industries, and government agencies that are interested in the microbial science specific to the microbial genome, virulence function of pathogenic microbes, host adaptation, evolution of microbes, and all other disciplines related to molecular microbiology.
