Metagenomics allows exploration of aspects of a microbial community that were inaccessible by cultivation-based approaches targeting single microbes. Many new microbial taxa and genes have been discovered using metagenomics, but different kinds of "unknowns" still remain in a microbiome experiment. We discuss here whether and how it is possible to deal with them.

Abstract
Metagenomics allows exploration of aspects of a microbial community that were inaccessible by cultivation-based approaches targeting single microbes. Many new microbial taxa and genes have been discovered using metagenomics, but different kinds of "unknowns" still remain in a microbiome experiment. We discuss here whether and how it is possible to deal with them.File in questo prodotto:
