Content
This book is a unique synthesis of the major concepts and methods in bacterial population genetics in infectious disease, a field that is now about 35 yrs old. Emphasis is given to explaining population-level processes that shape genetic variation in bacterial populations and statistical methods of analysis of bacterial genetic data. * A "how to" of bacterial population genetics, which covers an extremely large range of organisms * Expanding area of science due to high-throughput genome sequencing of bacterial pathogens * Covers both fundamental approaches to analyzing bacterial population structures with conceptual background in bacterial population biology * Detailed treatment of statistical methods D. Ashley Robinson is an Associate Professor of Microbiology at The University of Mississippi Medical Center.  Her specialties include bacterial genetics, microbial evolution and antimicrobial resistance, among others. Daniel Falush is a Research Fellow in the Department of Statistics at the University of Oxford, where he specializes in mathematical biology, particularly mathematical genetics and bioinformatics. Edward Feil is a Reader in Microbial Evolution at University of Bath.  He studies bacterial evolution and genetic recombination as well as the biogeography of pathogenic bacteria. CONTENTS Foreword.
