From the reviews: "This well-illustrated book details the most recent advances in the applications of next generation sequencing technologies with an emphasis on microorganisms and their communities, in addition to general applications relevant to the study of any living organism. ... The book is intended for scientists interested in this area, but even graduate students and other researchers field may find this book useful." (Omer Iqbal, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2012) "There are definitely some highlights that will make this book of use to both NGS Newbies and experienced practitioners. ... many readers will find this a very useful book." (Michael A. Quail, Human Genetics, Vol. 130, 2011)
