Metagenomic Data Analysis

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 2649))

Abstract

Metagenomics, also known as environmental genomics, is the study of the genomic content of a sample of organisms obtained from a common habitat. Metagenomics and other “omics” disciplines have captured the attention of researchers for several decades. The effect of microbes in our body is a relevant concern for health studies. Through sampling the sequences of microbial genomes within a certain environment, metagenomics allows study of the functional metabolic capacity of a community as well as its structure based upon distribution and richness of species. Exponentially increasing number of microbiome literatures illustrate the importance of sequencing techniques which have allowed the expansion of microbial research into areas, including the human gut, antibiotics, enzymes, and more. This chapter illustrates how metagenomics field has evolved with the progress of sequencing technologies.

Further, from this chapter, researchers will be able to learn about all current options for sequencing techniques and comparison of their cost and read statistics, which will be helpful for planning their own studies.
