Microbial diversity in the human intestine and novel insights from metagenomics.
Bacterial communities reside in very different ecological niches on and within the human host, such as those associated with the alimentary tract. The human gastrointestinal tract is populated with as many as 100 trillion bacterial cells, whose collective genome likely reflects the co-evolution between the microbial community and its host. Recent progress has highlighted the intriguing diversit...
متن کاملEditorial: From Genes to Species: Novel Insights from Metagenomics
The majority of microbes in many environments are considered " as yet uncultured " and were traditionally considered inaccessible for study through the microbiological gold standard of pure culture. The emergence of metagenomic approaches has allowed researchers to access and study these microbes in a culture-independent manner through DNA sequencing and functional expression of metagenomic DNA...

Title of Document: NOVEL METHODS FOR METAGENOMIC ANALYSIS James Robert White, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Professor Mihai Pop, Department of Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Scientific Computation Program Affiliate By sampling the genetic content of microbes at the nucleotide level, metagenomics has rapidly established itself as the standard in characterizing t...
متن کاملMarine Metagenome as A Resource for Novel Enzymes
More than 99% of identified prokaryotes, including many from the marine environment, cannot be cultured in the laboratory. This lack of capability restricts our knowledge of microbial genetics and community ecology. Metagenomics, the culture-independent cloning of environmental DNAs that are isolated directly from an environmental sample, has already provided a wealth of information about the u...
متن کاملThe Value and Significance of Metagenomics of Marine Environments
Microbes have played a fundamental role in the natural history of our planet, and have done so for billions of years. They have adapted to Earth’s many environments from the mild to the very extreme. Studying their diversity and their way of life is critical for understanding their full impact on the global ecology. Although the field of metagenomics is still young, it has unravelled a wider mi...
