Analysis of metagenomics data
Improved sampling of diverse environments and advances in the development and application of next-generation sequencing technologies is accelerating the rate at which new metagenomes are produced. Over the past few years, the major challenge associated with metagenomics has shifted from generating to analyzing sequences. Metagenomic analysis includes the identification, and functional and evolu...
متن کاملMetagenomic Profiling of a Microbial Assemblage Associated with the California Mussel: A Node in Networks of Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling
Mussels are conspicuous and often abundant members of rocky shores and may constitute an important site for the nitrogen cycle due to their feeding and excretion activities. We used shotgun metagenomics of the microbial community associated with the surface of mussels (Mytilus californianus) on Tatoosh Island in Washington state to test whether there is a nitrogen-based microbial assemblage ass...
متن کاملAnalyzing Metagenomic Data: Inferring Microbial Community Function with Mg-rast
Application of massively parallel throughput DNA sequencing technologies to the generation of metagenomic datasets from environmental samples is presently transforming the field of microbiology. Whereas traditional (Sanger-based) DNA sequencing technology imparted a high economic cost on data generation, the development of “next-generation” technologies now make the large-scale generation of se...
متن کاملFunctional Metagenomics of the Bronchial Microbiome in COPD
The course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is frequently aggravated by exacerbations, and changes in the composition and activity of the microbiome may be implicated in their appearance. The aim of this study was to analyse the composition and the gene content of the microbial community in bronchial secretions of COPD patients in both stability and exacerbation. Taxonomic data w...
متن کاملMIPE: A metagenome-based community structure explorer and SSU primer evaluation tool
An understanding of microbial community structure is an important issue in the field of molecular ecology. The traditional molecular method involves amplification of small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) genes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, PCR-based amplicon approaches are affected by primer bias and chimeras. With the development of high-throughput sequencing technology, unbias...
