BIOM files are the simplest way to see what is present in a sample, but rarely any researcher wants to stop there. You may want to see what is significant, how they relevant to our context, how they co-relate to other environmental factors, how they change with time and locations, etc. So lets looka at […]
In recent times metagenome studies seldom stop with the question of who is present in the environment. They venture out to the next big question of what do the present microbes do and how do they do it. For this merely sequencing marker genes, like 16S/18S/ITS, is not going to be sufficient. That is where […]
When we look at a environment with microbiological perspective, the first question that comes to our mind is which microbes are present there, and the most fastest and most comprehensive way to answer this questions by using amplification based approach to carry out metagenomics. It is a fairly known fact that there are certain genes, […]
Metagenomics When you pick up 1 gram of garden soil or even 1ml of sea water there are millions of little microbes in that small sample. Each of those microorganism has its own DNA, and its own tiny little organelles, and its own machinery of protection, growing, spreading, moving, multiplying, etc. It is estimated that […]
