Microbial Genomics: Clinical, Pharmaceutical and Industrial Applications focuses on the various applications of microbial genomics in clinical, pharmaceutical, and industrial fields. The book consists of four parts devoted to bacterial, viral, and fungal genomics, as well as their applications in clinical, pharmaceutical, and industrial fields. Chapters are written by experts in their respective disciplines and are tightly organized with an introduction to detailed descriptions, available software implementation, applications, advanced topics, summaries, analytic questions, exercises, and suggested readings. Throughout this book, the latest genomics and biotechnological developments and discoveries as well as open problems and future challenges on microbial genomics are highlighted. Readers will be introduced to state-of-the-art developments and trends of microbial genomics, its clinical, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.

• Presents the recent genomic developments in the industrial applications of microorganisms
• Summarizes recent developments in microbial genomics, emphasizing the role of next-generation sequencing in functional genomics
• Focus on how transcriptomics can help better understand host responses to pathogen infection
• Describes applications of genomics in clinical microbiology
