Computational Genomics and Structural Bioinformatics in Microbial Science: Microbial Genomics (Volume 2) covers different aspects of microbial genomics, metagenomics, and functional studies of microbes through informative illustrations of current trends in computational tools and bioinformatics approach in environmental microbiology and clinical diagnosis. This book aims to provide readers with an overview of the microbial genome, computational genomics, and structural bioinformatics in microbial science, as well as the most recent developments in these fields. This book covers a range of topics, including the challenges and opportunities of computational epigenomics, bioinformatics tools for assessing metagenomic data, as well as computed comparative genomics and computational phenotyping of microorganisms relevant to agriculture. 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, that are interested in microbial science specifically related to the microbial genome, computing genomics, and bioinformatics.

Li, Wen-Jun
Wen-Jun Li received his PhD in microbiology from Shenyang Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is currently working as Distinguished Professor in School of Life Sciences, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China. His research mainly focuses on microbial diversity under those unusual environments, by using culture-dependent and culture-independent methods, as well as mechanisms of extremophilic microbes to adapt those unusual environments. He was awarded the WFCC (The World Federation for Culture Collections) Skerman award for microbial taxonomy in 2007, and other six provincial and ministry level awards for his outstanding research contributions on the field of microbial systematics and microbial ecology. He has successfully trained more than 150 graduate students and postdoc level students in the field of microbial taxonomy and microbial ecology at home and abroad countries.
