Microbes in soil and their metagenomics

Abstract

Metagenomics refers to the study of microbial architecture in a community using next-generation sequencing platforms. Soil microbes play an important role in maintenance of ecosystem. The study of metagenomes of soil microbial community helped in identifying the microbes which play an important role under different environmental conditions. Various tools and techniques are now available for the study of soil metagenomes effectively.
