DESCRIPTION:Shinichi Sunagawa\, Sunagawa Lab - Microbiome Research\, ETH Z
 urich\nThe use of DNA sequencing data from environmental and host-associat
 ed samples has enabled researchers to study of microbial community diversi
 ty and function in unprecedented ways. This increase in potential possibil
 ities\, however\, has also posed new methodological challenges such as pro
 filing taxonomic community compositions\, reconstructing microbial gene an
 d genome sequences\, and accurately predicting genomic coordinates of indu
 cible prophages\, all starting from short sequence fragments. Overcoming t
 hese challenges shows great promise not only in identifying metagenome-wid
 e associations with disease states or environmental factors\, but also unc
 overing the biosynthetic potential harbored within an ecosystem and previo
 usly unsuspected microbial groups.
