Omics and Metabolic Networks in Microbial Xenobiotic Degradation and Detoxification.

Special Issue aims to bring together research and reviews that integrate omics data, metabolic network analysis, and ecological perspectives to elucidate microbial mechanisms involved in xenobiotic degradation and detoxification.

Bumping the NGS read classification rate to 97%

Last year, we published our paper on two-step metagenomic classification. The next stage of this work is now starting to bear fruit. In experiments, we have seen the read classification rate of randomly selected SRA samples go up from 74% to 97%.

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.
