Genomics in Biosecurity
Principles and Applications of Genomic Technologies in Expanded Biosecurity Concepts
About this book
Genomics in Biosecurity: Principles and Applications of Genomic Technologies in Expanded Biosecurity Concepts, in the Translational and Applied Genomics series, explains in definite and practical terms the applicability of genomic technologies in every aspect of biosecurity, from emergent diagnostics to bioterrorism, agroterrorism, next generation biowarfare, biosurveillance and risk assessment. This book offers an integrated discussion of genomics and GCBR (global catastrophic biological risks) events, considering both basic aspects of biosecurity genomics and application of genomic technologies to drive new solutions. Readers will find evidence-based strategies to apply genomics in disease and pathogen monitoring and diagnosis, and more.
Social aspects of GCBR events and genomic biosecurity, such as issues of terrorism, policy ethics, and practice, are also considered in-depth.
- Examines the use of genomics in pathogen monitoring and diagnosis, biosurveillance, and countermeasures for spontaneous and perpetrated events
- Discusses social, ethical, and policy aspects of GCBR events and the use of genomic technologies in biosecurity
- Empowers new solutions in biorestoration, biocrime, counterbioterrorism, disaster management, and humanitarian crisis response
- Features chapter contributions from a range of international specialists
