Shotgun Metagenomics Genome-Resolved Analysis

Shotgun metagenomics offers a unique view into the unculturable microbial community. It enables sequencing an entire microbiome community without culturing restrictions.

Genome-resolved metagenomics analysis involves the reconstruction of bacterial genomes using shotgun reads. It enables the study of previously unknown bacteria in detail. This is critical for discovering new organisms and genes as well as reducing the amount of microbial dark matter.

Genome-Resolved Pipeline

A workflow that performs an end to end metagenomics analysis, including quality controls and adapter trimming of the raw reads, assembly of filtered reads into contigs, binning of contigs into MAGs along with taxonomic and functional analysis of MAGs. All the steps in the pipeline are based on open source reference bioinformatics tools, considered as standards for metagenomics analysis.

FastQC: Quality controls of reads
Trimmomatic: Trimming of adapter
Megahit: Assembly of reads into contigs
Autometa: Binning of contigs in Metagenome Assembled Genomes
GTDB-Tk: Taxonomic classification of MAGs
CheckM: Quality control analysis of MAGs
KofamScan: Functional analysis of MAGs
