Metagenomics sequencing analyses DNA from a sample containing mixed microbial communities, which allows the identification and characterisation of microbes without the need for cultivation. Here, Pathology in Practice Science Editor Brian Nation selects a small sample of relevant research papers in this area, all of which are free to access.
Deep learning methods in metagenomics: a review
Roy G, Prifti E, Belda E, Zucker JD. Microb Genom. 2024 Apr;10(4):001231. doi:10.1099/mgen.0.001231.
The ever-decreasing cost of sequencing and the growing potential applications of metagenomics have led to an unprecedented surge in data generation. One of the most prevalent applications of metagenomics is the study of microbial environments, such as the human gut.
