Metagenomics has taken off as one of the major cutting-edge fields
of research. The field has broad implications for human health and
disease, animal production and environmental health. Metagenomics
has opened up a wealth of data, tools, technologies and
applications that allow us to access the majority of organisms that
we still cannot access in pure culture (an estimated 99% of
microbial life). Numerous research groups are developing tools,
approaches and applications to deal with this new field, as larger
data sets from environments including the human body, the oceans
and soils are being generated. See for example the human microbiome
initiative (HMP) which has become a world-wide effort and the
Global Ocean Sampling (GOS) surveys. The number of publications as
measured through PubMed that are focused on metagenomics continues
to increase. The field of metagenomics continues to evolve with
large common datasets available to the scientific community. A
concerted effort is needed to collate all this information in a
centralized place. By having all the information in an Encyclopedia
form, we have an opportunity to gather seminal contributions from
the leaders in the field, and at the same time provide this
information to a significant number of junior and senior
scientists. It is anticipated that the Encyclopedia will also be
used by many other groups including, clinicians, undergraduate and
graduate level students, as well as ethical and legal groups
associated with or interested in the issues surrounding metagenome
science.
