A powerful new tool in such studies is metagenomics wherein one uses high throughput DNA sequencing methods on DNA isolated directly from environmental samples. Metagenomics has the potential to revolutionize our understanding of the normally hidden yet incredibly important world of microorganisms. However this great potential comes with enormous challenges in the analysis of the sequence data, including (i) the fragmentary nature of sequence data, (ii) the sparse sampling of genomes, populations and communities, and (iii) the unknown phylogenetic diversity and ecological structure of the communities being sampled. | <div style="width: 750px;padding-right: 25px; padding-left: 25px;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12px;margin-bottom: 30px;line-height: 18px;padding-top: 0px;"><span style="float: left;border: 2px solid #666666;margin-right: 30px;margin-bottom: 10px;">[[Image:dk4.jpg]]</span>Microbes play fundamental roles in all biology-associated processes on the planet.
