GeoChip-Based Metagenomic Technologies for Analyzing Microbial Community Functional Structure and Activities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Functional gene arrays (FGAs) are a special type of microarray containing probes for key genes involved in microbial functional processes, such as biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and metals, biodegradation of environmental contaminants, antibiotic resistance, energy processing, and stress response. GeoChips are considered to be the most comprehensive FGAs and an important metagenomic tool for microbial community analysis.
