Abstract

Discussions of clinical genetics and genomics often focus on screening for disease-causing genes in humans and the promise of targeted therapies. Another important area of research is analysis of pathogen genomes. Genetics and genomics-based approaches, such as population genomics and phylogenetics, provide insight into mechanisms of resistance, sources of infections, and pathogen transmission routes.
