MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Fungal comparative genomics started in 2000 by the genome sequencing of several yeast species. Since then, over 30 fungal genome sequences have become available. This set represents a huge evolutionary divergence, but also contains closely related genomes. This volume describes how to use this set of genomes to trace events in genome evolution, to extract information about highly conserved and less conserved sequence elements, and to develop novel methods in genomics.
