Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bioinformatics, in particular to a metagenomic data analysis method and system. Background technique
[0002] Metagenome, also known as community genome, refers to the sum of the genetic material of all tiny organisms in a specific niche. Metagenomics (metagenomics) refers to the discipline that directly applies genomics technology to the study of microbial communities in niches without the need to isolate and cultivate a single strain.
[0003] Unlike previous microbiological analysis methods, metagenomics analysis does not need to screen the cultures of each microbial community, but directly determines the nucleic acid sequences of all microorganisms in the sample to analyze the growth of the microbial community. Metagenomics analysis can avoid the bias caused by changes in microbial sequences due to environmental changes, and is especially suitable for identifying microorganisms that are difficult to cu...
