What Is Shotgun Metagenomics Metagenomics is the science that applies high-throughput sequencing technologies and bioinformatics tools to directly obtain the genetic content of a microbial community without the need to isolate and culture the individual microbial species. Metagenomics enables researches not only to study the functional gene composition of...

The nitrogen cycle stands as one of Earth's paramount biogeochemical cycles, with microorganisms playing an indispensable role in its intricate web. Harnessing the power of metagenomic technologies, we unlock a comprehensive view of both the sheer quantity and the diverse array of functional microbial taxa interwoven within the nitrogen cycle. Consequently, we gain profound insights into...
