Metagenomics: microbial diversity through a scratched lens.

Abstract excerpt

Since nucleic acids were first extracted directly from the environment and sequenced, metagenomics has grown to one of the most data-rich and pervasive techniques for understanding the taxonomic and functional diversity of microbial communities. In the last decade, cheaper sequencing has democratized the application of metagenomics and generated billions of reads, revealing staggering microbial diversity and...
