Analysis Of Lake Washington Microbes Shows The Power Of Metagenomic Approaches

Today's powerful sequencing machines can rapidly read the genomes of entire communities of microbes, but the challenge is to extract meaningful information from the jumbled reams of data. Scientists have now described a novel approach for extracting single genomes and discerning specific microbial capabilities from mixed community ("metagenomic") sequence data.
