What is metagenomics and its applications?
Metagenomics is an approach that analyzes the genetic material of microorganisms directly extracted from environmental samples, enabling the study of the diversity and functionality of microbial communities without the need to cultivate individual species.
Among the key methods in metagenomics, 16S rRNA gene sequencing targets a specific region present in all prokaryotes, facilitating the identification and classification of bacteria within complex samples.(1)
Applications of metagenomics are vast and include biodiversity studies, environmental monitoring, and industrial microbiology (2). In agriculture, for example, metagenomics can enhance our understanding of soil microbial communities, which play crucial roles in nutrient cycling disease suppression. (3)
