Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Metagenome sampling bias for geographical location and lifestyle is partially responsible for the incomplete catalog of reference genomes of gut microbial species. Thus, genome assembly from currently under-represented populations may effectively expand the reference gut microbiome and improve taxonomic and functional profiling. METHODS: We assembled genomes using public whole-metagenomic shotgun...
