Genomics and evolution of microbial eukaryotes

Genomics and evolution of microbial eukaryotes / edited by Laura A. Katz, Debashish Bhattacharya.

This book represents a unique combination of recently-emerged information on eukaryotic microbes, evolution and genomics. Eukaryotes, cells with nuclei, evolved as microbes and have existed on Earth for approximately 2 billion years. Although currently relatively understudied, eukaryotic microorgani...
