Metagenomics : methods and protocols / edited by Wolfgang R. Streit, Rolf Daniel.

This second edition explores up-to-date tools in various function-based technologies currently used in metagenomics. The chapters in this book discuss all of the working steps involved in these technologies, such as: DNA isolation from soils and marine samples followed by the construction and screen...
