Abstract
Genome information and subsets of genes in the genome of each biological warfare agent have started to be revealed with the help of modern genome sequencing technology. This information will be helpful for the detection of bio-threat or even unknown threats. Unfortunately, this information can also be misused for the creation of new types of biological warfare agents, which will be difficult to detect and treat, and used for the production of bio-weapons. This chapter summarizes genomic information of potential biological warfare agents ...
