Metagenomic analysis has extraordinary potential to improve our
understanding of microbial populations in their natural environment
and identify novel genes of interest. The key feature of such
analyses is that they are performed using metagenomic libraries
constructed from total DNA isolated from a particular niche rather
than a laboratory culture. Thus, metagenomic analyses potentially
allow access to all the genetic resources present in an
environment, regardless of whether or not they belong to
micro-organisms that can be cultured in the laboratory.
Sequence-based metagenomic analyses rely on comparisons with
databases of known genomic sequences whilst functional analyses
rely on screening libraries on the basis of the phenotypes cloned
DNA can confer to host bacteria. Therefore, functional analysis
allows the identification of novel genes with functions that could
not have been predicted from their DNA sequence. This book
discusses metagenomics' methods, applications and perspectives.
