Book reviewReview of "Leishmania- after the Genome" by Peter J. Myler and Nicolas FaselKevin M Tyler  BioMedical Research Centre, School of Medicine, Health Policy and Practice, University of East Anglia, Norwich, NR4 7TJ, UK author email corresponding author email
Parasites & Vectors 2008,

With the recent publication of complete genome sequences for Leishmania major, Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma cruzi has come the perception of an opportunity to pause, survey and reflect upon the current state of research for these organisms. To consider the shape of things to come and, in particular, how best to modernize future studies by imbuing them with insights mined from the huge genomic and post-genomic datasets now available. Into this zeitgeist a number of books have already been launched starting before the genome publication with useful texts such as Melville's " Parasite Genomic Protocols" in 2004 and then subsequently Barry's "Trypanosomes: After the Genome" last year and perhaps a little more tangentially Olson and Bhattacharya's "The Genomics and Evolution of Microbial Eukaryotes " in 2006. |
