When I started my lab a few years ago I started building up an in-house library for students. Two of the first books I bought are The Logic of Chance (Eugene Koonin) and The Origins of Genome Architecture (Michael Lynch). Both are remarkable books that discuss genomics in the context of microbial diversity and the tree of life.
What other genomics/evolution classics do people always keep around?
