Genomics in Food Safety, written by leading experts in the field, is a vital resource in understanding the impact of genomics on food safety. This volume defines the role of next generation sequencing (NGS), from the perspective of food science, genome sequencing technologies, and applications to provide a context for the power of genomics in food borne illnesses and outbreak detection and analysis. The book presents a wide coverage of topics, including pathogen diagnostics, antibiotic resistance, traceability, rapid detection methods using NGS, and regulation and surveillance to represent the most current issues and technologies in research today. Presents current and future perspectives in the highly emerging field of genomics and food safety, with coverage of emerging topics such as epigenetics and traceabilityIdeal for studies relating to microbial genomics, foodborne illness, foodborne pathogens, disease outbreak, and viral bioinformaticsProvides solid coverage of microbial sequencing and disease outbreak detection and analysisCovers pathogen diagnostics, antibiotic resistance, traceability, rapid detection methods using NGS, and regulation and surveillance to represent the most current issues and technologies in research today INDICE: 1.
