Want a hands-on introduction to metagenomics analysis in Galaxy?

This Galaxy Training Network tutorial walks learners through the “global picture” of metagenomics data analysis, including the differences between amplicon and shotgun approaches, how to choose appropriate tools, and how to visualize microbial community structure.

Microbiome / Analyses of metagenomics data - The global picture / Hands-on: Analyses of metagenomics data - The global picture

A microbiome is the community of microorganisms that can usually be found living together in any given habitat. Microbiome research has grown substantially over the past decade in terms of the range of biomes sampled, identified taxa, and the volume of data derived from the samples.

Ancient animal remains hold clues to past #zoonotic diseases. 🐾🧬 Across 6,000 years of Eurasian #zooarchaeological material, researchers detected 29 opportunistic #pathogens, highlighting the value of lesion-guided sampling.

Probing the zooarchaeological record across time and space for ancient pathogen DNA - Nature Communications

Authors investigate ancient DNA from animal remains and identify multiple signatures of ancient zoonotic pathogens. They find ancient pathogen genomics from archaeological animal remains may inform zoonotic disease emergence.

The #microbial #diversity of #dynamic #ecosystems can today be assessed using more efficient methods. M. F. Peña-Valencia et al. (2026) identified potential #polyethyleneterephthalate (#PET)-degrading #enzymes from #mangrove #soil using #AI, #3D #structuralanalysis and #metagenomics. Some of these enzymes could be assigned to the bacterial genus #Microbulbifer.
