Additional Accessibility Information
-
All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
-
The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
-
For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
-
Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
-
Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.

Metagenomics for Microbiology, Second Edition unveils the intricate and diverse world of microbial communities, emphasizing their critical roles in health, disease, and ecosystem functionality. This updated edition addresses the significant challenges in the field and introduces promising approaches to make metagenomics research more feasible. Through comprehensive revisions and over five new chapters, readers are equipped with the latest research data and analyses, advancing their understanding of microbial principles. Notably, this edition provides a robust foundation for the design and analysis of omics studies, focusing on technological underpinnings and practical applications. It remains an essential resource for characterizing microbial consortia.
Key Features
- Describes updated methodologies with best-practice prescription, from sample to data analysis, for current metagenomic studies
- Updates on sample preparation, data production, data clean up, data analysis, statistics, and experimental biology, with accompanying descriptions
- Includes a new chapter on long read applications using Nanopore technology
- Provides a new chapter on probability distributions that underpin the structure of microbiome ecosystems
- Covers bio surveillance of diseases and biodefense
