Genomics and Metagenomics: Technological Advances, Analytical Approach

Genomics and Metagenomics: Technological Advances, Analytical Approaches, and Emerging Applications in Health and Disease provides an integrated and up-to-date overview of genomics and metagenomics, spanning sequencing technologies from Sanger to next-generation, long-read, single-cell, and spatial approaches. It presents key bioinformatics workflows for sequence processing, assembly, annotation, taxonomic and functional analysis, with emphasis on AI, machine learning, and deep learning. The book connects these technologies to applications in infectious diseases, cancer, respiratory disorders, precision medicine, environmental monitoring, agriculture, and biotechnology, while highlighting host-microbiome interactions and multi-omics integration. Its distinctive contribution is the combination of technological advances, computational approaches, translational applications, and emerging AI-driven perspectives within a single framework. The book is intended for students, researchers, clinicians, bioinformaticians, biotechnologists, and professionals seeking a practical understanding of modern genomics and metagenomics.
