Comparative metagenomics of microbial communities.
The species complexity of microbial communities and challenges in culturing representative isolates make it difficult to obtain assembled genomes. Here we characterize and compare the metabolic capabilities of terrestrial and marine microbial communities using largely unassembled sequence data obtained by shotgun sequencing DNA isolated from the various environments. Quantitative gene content a...

متن کاملComparative genomics of microbial pathogens and symbionts
We are interested in quantifying the contribution of gene acquisition, loss, expansion and rearrangements to the evolution of microbial genomes. Here, we discuss factors influencing microbial genome divergence based on pair-wise genome comparisons of closely related strains and species with different lifestyles. A particular focus is on intracellular pathogens and symbionts of the genera Ricket...
متن کاملComparative Analysis of Metabolic Pathways in Metagenomics
Metagenomics is the study of organismal DNA sequences obtained from an environmental sample. Metagenomic studies often compare samples taken from different locations (e.g., the human gut, lakes and oceans, soil) to assess significant differences in taxonomic makeup, genetic makeup, or function. Differences in function can be characterized by measuring the differential abundance of metabolic pat...
متن کاملToward Accurate and Quantitative Comparative Metagenomics
Shotgun metagenomics and computational analysis are used to compare the taxonomic and functional profiles of microbial communities. Leveraging this approach to understand roles of microbes in human biology and other environments requires quantitative data summaries whose values are comparable across samples and studies. Comparability is currently hampered by the use of abundance statistics that...
