      abstract = {This book elucidates the role of microbial genomic islands  (GEIs) in genome stability, plasticity, evolutionary  adaptation, and pathogenicity in the bacterial population.  The initial chapters of the book present tools, including  bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, machine learning,  next-generation sequencing, and molecular biology  techniques, for the analysis of the genomic islands. The  book also discusses the importance of genomic islands in  bacterial speciation, acquisition of genes related to  resistome, nitrogen fixation, mobilomes, and nutritional  fitness and adaptation. It provides recent advances in  understanding microbial genomic islands' distribution,  evolution, and mechanistic modes of behavior in pathogenic,  non-pathogenic, and environmental species. This book is a  valuable source for beginners in molecular microbiology,  students, researchers, clinicians, stakeholders, and  policymakers interested in understanding the role of GEIs  in the adaptive evolution of microorganisms.},
