Metagenomic Systems Biology: Integrative Analysis of the Microbiome

The book serves as an amalgamation of knowledge and principles used in  the area of systems and synthetic biology, and targets  inter-disciplinary research groups. The readers from diversified areas  would be benefited by the valuable resources and information available  in one book. Microbiome projects with efficient data handling can fuel  progress in the area of microbial synthetic biology by providing a ready  to use plug and play chassis. Advances in gene editing technology such  as the use of tailor made synthetic transcription factors will further  enhance the availability of synthetic devices to be applied in the  fields of environment, agriculture and health. The different chapters of  the book reviews a broad range of topics, including food microbiome in  ecology, use of microbiome in personalized medicine, machine learning   in biomedicine. The book also describes ways to harness and exploit the  incredible amounts of genomic data.

 The book is not only  limited to medicine but also caters to the needs of environmentalists,  biochemical engineers etc. It will be of interest to advanced students  and researchers in life sciences, computational biology, microbiology  and other inter-disciplinary areas.
