Marine Genomics: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology Book 2498)
Marine Genomics: Methods and Protocols (Methods in Molecular Biology, Volume 2498) is a comprehensive and advanced laboratory guide designed for researchers working in marine biology, molecular ecology, environmental genomics, marine biotechnology, and evolutionary biology. Now available in Pakistan through BooksHub.pk, this volume equips scientists and students with state-of-the-art protocols for studying the genetic and genomic structure of marine organisms—from microorganisms to invertebrates and pelagic species.
As global research increasingly focuses on marine biodiversity, climate change impacts, aquatic ecosystem health, and species adaptation, genomic tools have become essential for understanding how marine life evolves, responds, and survives in changing ocean environments. This book provides detailed, step-by-step experimental workflows that ensure clarity, reproducibility, and accuracy in laboratory research.
Inside this volume, readers will find protocols that cover:
-
DNA and RNA extraction from marine organisms and environmental samples
-
Whole-genome and metagenomic sequencing approaches
-
Transcriptomics, gene expression profiling, and epigenetic analysis
-
Population genetics and phylogenetic reconstruction methods
-
Bioinformatics pipelines for marine genomic datasets
-
Methods tailored for marine microbiomes, coral systems, planktonic species, and benthic organisms
Each chapter follows the trusted Methods in Molecular Biology series format, including materials lists, reagent preparation, experimental steps, troubleshooting guidance, expected results, and expert notes to ensure successful implementation in research laboratories.
This book is ideal for MPhil / PhD scholars, research labs, marine science centers, fisheries departments, oceanography institutes, biotechnology departments, and conservation scientists who require practical and reliable genomic research tools.
