This book details the most comprehensive, up-to -date, and
cutting-edge protocols used in wet and dry labs to investigate the
viral communities harbored within and on the human body. Chapters
guide readers through methods on collection, isolation,
identification and computational/statistical analysis, and body
niches to cover those methodological issues inherent to the human
tissues and organs. Written in the highly successful Methods in
Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to
their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and
reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols,
and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, The Human Virome: Methods and
Protocols aims to facilitate researchers with their daily work in
the field of the research on the human virome.
This book explores the exciting world of theoretical biology and is
divided into three sections. The first section examines the roles
played by renowned scientists such as Jacob, Monod, Rosen, Turing,
von Bertalanffy, Waddington and Woodger in developing the field of
theoretical biology. The second section, aided with numerous
examples, supports the idea that logic and computing are suitable
formal languages to describe and understand biological phenomena.
The third and final section is, without doubt, the most
intellectually challenging and endeavors to show the possible paths
we could take to compute a cell - the basic unit of life - or the
conditions required for a predictive theory of biological
evolution; ultimately, a theory of life in the light of modern
Systems Biology. The work aims to show that modern biology is
closer than ever to making Goethe's dream come true and that we
have reached a point where synthetic and analytical traditions
converge to shed light on the living being as a whole.
