Parasite Genomics Protocols

With the ever-increasing availability of genome sequence, new methodologies are being developed and tested that will allow researchers to use all this information and to view the analysis of the genome and gene function on a wider scale than ever before. In this volume of the Methods in Molecular Biology series, the author describes the current status of knowledge on the genomes of parasites causing major parasitic diseases, the methods used to analyze the genomes, and how and where to access the data. The text also details the most recent methods being developed for functional genomic analyses. These protocols will be of direct interest to microbiologists, molecular biologists, biochemists, and all parasitologists wishing to work with genome data.
