Pipeline for metagenomics-based population genomics
Bacterioplankton is a fundamental component of the marine ecosystem. They contribute significantly to the primary production and carbon fixation, and to the nutrients and elements recycling. With shotgun metagenomics and genomic binning, the genomes of individual species can be assembled (Metagenome-Assembled Genomes - MAGs) without cultivation. By analysing the genomes, one can gain insights into
