Real - Time Metagenomics

چکیده
In the last few years a new technology called metagenomics has revolutionized biology. This technique allows biologists to sequence the DNA (genetic makeup) of all the organisms in an environment. The Real-Time Metagenomics project provides biologists with a variety of tools to annotate metagenomes using web 2.0 technology, including web services (RTMg.web), Google’s Android cell phone operating system (RTMg.mob), and all OpenSocial-based social network sites (RTMg.os). This technology allows biologists to perform useful, fast, and easy bioinformatics services on metagenomic data. In fact, annotations of DNA sequences are performed within minutes; something that used to take hours or days.

Recent developments in experimental molecular techniques, such as microarray, next generation sequencing technologies, have led molecular biology into a high-throughput era with emergent omics research areas, including metagenomics and transcriptomics. Massive-size omics datasets generated and being generated from the experimental laboratories put new challenges to computational biologists to d...
متن کاملReal Time Metagenomics: Using k-mers to annotate metagenomes
Annotation of metagenomes involves comparing the individual sequence reads with a database of known sequences and assigning a unique function to each read. This is a time-consuming task that is computationally intensive (though not computationally complex). Here we present a novel approach to annotate metagenomes using unique k-mer oligopeptide sequences from 7 to 12 amino acids long. We demons...

Diagnostic metagenomics is a rapidly evolving laboratory tool for culture-independent tracing of foodborne pathogens. The method has the potential to become a generic platform for detection of most pathogens and many sample types. Today, however, it is still at an early and experimental stage. Studies show that metagenomic methods, from sample storage and DNA extraction to library preparation a...

Introduction: Bacteria are a group of microorganisms which in contrast to their diversity in nature, only very few of them can be grown and isolated in the current standard laboratories. Metagenomics as a new field of research, during the last decade has worked on clarification of the genomes of the non-cultured microbes and researchers around the world with serious study of this group of bacte...
متن کاملWhat ’ s in my pot ? Real - time species identification on the MinION TM
Whole genome sequencing on next-generation instruments provides an unbiased way to identify the organisms present in complex metagenomic samples. However, the time-to-result can be protracted because of fixed-time sequencing runs and cumbersome bioinformatics workflows. This limits the utility of the approach in settings where rapid species identification is crucial, such as in the quality cont...
