Microbial genomics

The science of microbial genomics requires special attention, in part, because of its medical and economic importance. Even more so, microbial genomics provide important lessons for all of computational biology and comparative genomics, and therefore, microbial genomes are prototypes for the future of pharmacogenomics.
