Book Description Horizon Scientific Press titles focus on high-level microbiology and molecular biology topics Written by internationally renowned and highly respected leaders in the field, they comprise review manuals, practical manuals, and reference texts for research scientists, bioscience professionals and graduate students Fungi ожйгш play critical roles in human and animal health, in the agriculture and food industries, in biotechnology, and as model organisms for basic scientific studies Molecular biology techniques and phylogenetic theories are currently being employed to address the reclassification of fungi, to improve the accuracy and speed of the diagnosis of fungal infections, to identify the sources of individual cases and outbreaks of infections, and to understand the patterns of genetic variation and evolutionary potentials in populations of pathogenic fungi In this volume internationally recognised population and evolutionary geneticists describe the use of molecular techniques and bioinformaticsto study the evolutionary genetics of fungi The focus of the book is on the most recent advances and current theories in this highly topical area Topics covered include the molecular methods currently used for typing species and strains of fungi, the selection of methods to address specific questions, molecular systematics, biogeography, population genetics, mitochondrial inheritance and evolution, drug resistance, mutations, model organisms, and much, much more Essentialreading for scientists and researchers working in mycology and a recommended reference text for all science libraries.  Редакторы:2005 г 350 стр ISBN 1904933157.
