A review of bioinformatic methodologies in metagenomics

Abstract:

In the last five years, the delicate relationship between microbiota and human health has become a global research focus. In particular, development of metagenomics that is based on next-generation high-throughput sequencing technology has greatly advanced the field. However, bioinformatic analyses are often a great challenge for metagenomic studies. Here we review the common analytic methods for metagenomics.
