The book is structured into three distinct parts. Part One provides an introduction to molecular dating approaches and time calibration ideas, enabling the determination of evolutionary timescales for microbial lineages. Part Two showcases a range of advanced phylogenomic tools, including models for genome tree construction, taxon sampling methods, outgroup-independent tree-rooting techniques, and gene family evolution models. Part Three explores techniques used to study trait evolution. Written in the renowned Methods in Molecular Biology series format, each chapter includes an overview of its respective topic, a comprehensive list of necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and helpful tips on troubleshooting and avoiding common pitfalls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnvironmental Microbial Evolution: Methods and Protocols stands as a cutting-edge and comprehensive resource for researchers seeking to delve deeper into this vital and rapidly evolving field. By presenting a diverse array of methodologies and tools, this book empowers scholars to explore the intricate dynamics of microbial evolution, unravel the mysteries of microbial diversity, and contribute to our understanding of the intricate web of life on our planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 903g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 254 x 178 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781071626900\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44282972602618,"sku":"9781071626900","price":108.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1685718286670_book.jpg?v=1686917190","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/environmental-microbial-evolution-methods-and-protocols-9781071626900","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
