Infectomics has become one of the original members of the medical “omics” family since the completion of the Human Genome Project. The first paper that was accepted for publication on this emerging discipline was in 2001 in the first issue of Functional and Integrative Genomics. It was also published in Nature Encyclopedia of Human Genome in 2003. These early publications serve as the foundation of this book, along with papers I have published over the past 18 years while studying Infectomics. This book focuses on holo-omic studies of microbial infections, and is structured into five parts that explore the history of Infectomics, its major issues.
