What is the difference between metagenomics and metatranscriptomics?
While metagenomics focuses on studying the genomic content and on identifying which microbes are present within a community, metatranscriptomics can be used to study the diversity of the active genes within such community, to quantify their expression levels and to monitor how these levels change in different …
What is Metatranscriptome sequencing?
What is metatranscriptomic sequencing? Metatranscriptomic sequencing provides direct access to culturable and non-culturable microbial transcriptome information by large-scale, high-throughput sequencing of transcripts from all microbial communities in specific environmental samples.
What is metatranscriptomics and why is it important?
Metatranscriptomics, a subset of metagenomics, provides valuable information about the whole gene expression profiling of complex microbial communities of an ecosystem. Metagenomic studies mainly focus on the genomic content and identification of microbes present within a community, while metatransc …
What is the metatranscriptomics pipeline?
This pipeline is designed specifically for metatranscriptomics data analysis, by working in conjunction with the MG-RAST server for metagenomics. This pipeline is simple to use, requires low technical preparation and computational power and can be applied to a wide range of microbes.
What is a typical metatranscriptome dataset?
A typical metatranscriptome dataset contains many millions of sequenced mRNA molecules, termed RNA-seq reads.
What is metatranscriptomic sequencing bioinformatic?
The metatranscriptomic sequencing bioinformatic overall process (Peimbert M, et al. 2016) Symbiotic bacteria (normal flora) play a key role in protecting us from pathogens, but under certain conditions they can overcome protective host responses and trigger pathological effects.
