Gene Flow and Molecular Biology: Ecological Perspective

Molecular techniques in the study of gene flow, genetics, phenomics, adaptation, etc., of bacteria and viruses are most successful and have enabled scientists all over the world to understand and bring to the fore underlying causes of numerous diseases as well as harmful and beneficial effects of the activities of these microorganisms. Such study also helps through genetic variation and adaptive variance to mitigate or enhance the effects of such activities. “Gene Flow and Molecular Biology: Ecological Perspective” presents study of microorganisms—bacteria and viruses –through identification of study area of problem, specific species concerned, genetic variation and adaptation and outcomes, suing molecular techniques. Looking into effects of genetic variation and concept of gene flow, numerous deleterious diseases are investigated along with beneficial use of molecular techniques. Each chapter represents study of individual aspect of these microorganisms in specific situation investigated by expert team of researchers. Encompassing latest experiments on microorganisms, the book has tremendous utility for students, teachers, researchers and general readers.
